a harness or fuse came loose, if its anything other than that the problem might be serious

i once had issues with my gauge cluster doing the same thing, and it caused me a speeding ticket....i noticed that when i would hit a bump, the radio would go out and come right back, and that the lights would come on for a sec. like when you start the car....well, it got to the point that i would hit a bump, and the radio would go off, and not come back on, and i would realize the gauges and many other features were gone...the first time this happened was on the on ramp to the interstate, got on, and was clocked at 67, in a 55...i investigated all routes that could make this issue happened, and it was that the cluster was loose. took off the dash, pushed in the cluster, tightened the screws, problem solved
