2005 Toyota Corolla 83000 miles

Every so often, all of the sensors on my dashboard essentially freeze - when I turn the car on, the odometer is blank, and when I drive, none of the gauges move at all, including my gas indicator, the spedometer, or anything at all. Sometimes this will last an hour, sometimes a few days, and then it goes away. Any idea what might cause this?

More than likely an intermittent short or open circuit in the IP itself, since fuses and fuseable links do not repair themselves.

It will be necessary to remove the IP and check the circuit board.
