Default so the wife had an issue today..

So the wife was driving her van today and said all of a sudden all of the needles on her dash went all the way up then down twice then all of the dash lights flashed on then all of the electric shut off in her car for a couple of seconds. her engine stayed on though perfectly. the ac also shot out warm air. after a couple of seconds everything went back to normal. she said this happened once before. i'm going to take a look at it tomorrow. sounds like a loose or bad connection somewhere. anyone ever had this happen or have any ideas before i dive into it tomorrow? thanks in advance.

it's a 2007 3.3L caravan with 60,000 miles.

You have an intermittent BUS interruption going on. It could be just about any of the modules. They can try and diagnose it but you may have to tolerate it until it's a live issue to get an acccurate answer. Guessing at which module is expensive. Typical issue i've run in to has been cluster (not always).

My 03 DC SE does it once in a while after a hard rain.
