While driving yesterday the air bag light came on then off, as did the battery light, gas light (with a full tank of gas). All of the lights would come on one at a time and then off again and all the gauges quit working. Also the air conditioner will come on but does not blow cold air. No previous problems with this vehicle until this issue now. Not sure what is causing this or where to begin. Thanks!

Make sure the body ground straps are good, all plugs under the dash are tight, and if everything looks good, have the body control module (BCM) tested.

Actually this ended up being a problem with the stereo, we pulled out the stereo and as soon as we got it out everything on the dash started working again. My best guess is that maybe something was touching behind the stereo, so we rewired and secured the stereo. So far so good. Thanks!

I'm glad you found the problem. You have to be careful with some of these cars. The computer won't work properly if you remove the factory stereo.
