When I turn it off, it will not restart, and I have notice that the gauges do not work. So I let it set for about an hour, then I turn the key to run position several times then I noticed that the check gauges light comes on then the gauges jump to where before it shut off, I turn key and it cranks.

What is the symptom when it will not start? At the end you said the starter will crank the engine, but you did not say if it will start and run. Is that what it does when it does not start, or does the starter fail to crank the engine?

The first thing to do is read and record the diagnostic fault codes. Do you know how to do that yourself?

Chrysler made doing that yourself much easier than any other manufacturer. Cycle the ignition switch from "off" to "run" three times within five seconds without cranking the engine, leave it in "run", then watch the code numbers appear in the odometer display.
