2008 gauges cluster problem

[kuligow]

hi Guys !! I am new here.. and have a problem that so far leaves me puzzled...

gauges cluster is, what appears to be, losing momentarily power and restarts. this happens only when its cold outside. after truck heats up - problem stops - usually within 5 minutes from start.

I cleaned grounding connection on the frame as suggested in some online articles. I also took out entire cluster and cleaned the back connectors.

I was reading it maybe something in ignition ? any thoughts or solutions ??:help:

here is video:

you can se it happen at 14s, 30s and 37s of the movie

How's your battery. Funny electronic things happen when the battery is suspect. Also, you may want to disconnect the battery for 30 seconds. I had an electrical gremlin and this cleared it up. It's like rebooting the cpu.
