Hi lpeek,

Intermittent power disruption are mostly caused by faulty ignition switched.

Check if the ignition switch is hot to the touch after driving for a few minutes.

When problem occurs, cycle the ignition switch on and off a few times to check if the dash indicator and other components comes on or flickers.
