It sounds like the dash module is going out and restarting the process resets the module. To be sure we should do a CAN scan you can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) from Amazon from about $32.00.

Here is a video to show you how:

Here is how to change out the cluster module in the images below in case you need it. You can get a rebuilt unit by searching google or eBay. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.
