Hi DELAMORA79,

Thank you for the donation.

Symptoms indicates a power supply interruption or charging issue.

A power supply interruption could be due to a failing ignition switch. While engine is running, when power from the ignition switch is cut off, the dash indicator lights might come on momentarily and the goes away.

I would suggest checking the ignition switch. While engine is running, check the ignition, it should not be hot to the touch. A hot ignition switch indicates the internal contacts are insufficiently secure and can cause the contacts to fail over prolonged driving.
