I was driving my van home after getting it inspected when all of a sudden the dashboard lights and dials went dead but then a split second later they came back on. This happened twice in about 5 seconds. When they came back on the check engine, TCS, ABS, and brake lights stayed on until I got home and shut the car off. I immediately restarted the van and it started fine. A week ago I did have to jump the battery because I had'nt used the car for a couple weeks. You Diagnosis? Hopefully it is something easy like a Main relay. Would a shop be able to hook this up and retrieve a code? Is this on the cars memory or something?

It could be a faulty ignition switch (electrical part)
