As the car is running or just parked, the gauges (RPM, gas, and temperature) turn off completely. The A/C turns off completely and then they come back on in a matter of 2 to 5 minutes.

Do they do this all together? Meaning the gauges and the A/C shut off and then start working at the same time?

These things don't really have anything to do with each other so I am wondering if we have a battery issue. I would suggest with starting with testing the battery to see if it can handle a load.

If it can, then if they are not shutting off and on at the same time then I am thinking we have two separate issues.

We need to not only test the battery but check the cables to make sure they are tight.

Let me know and we can go from there. Thanks
