My 2004 Honda Pilot is somehow losing its connection w/ a power source. When this happens gauges bounce up and down when I turn car off. The trip meter/exterior temp goes back to the trip meter even though I always leave it on temp. The entire electrical system will for a brief second completely turn off while I am driving the car. I cleaned battery terminals etc. but no change. The oil light always stops flashing if I stop and restart the car. Seems harder to start than before - when attempting to start the car does nothing (similiar to having a dead battery, but my battery is testing fine). Leave it alone for 30 min and it will start fine.
