96 JGC Guages stop working but still power

Have a 1996 JGC that every once in a while the guages all drop to zero and the information center blanks. I still have power and can drive it. To solve this I have to pull over and restart the vehicle. Anyone have an idea what this could be?
Thank you

Try cleaning the battery terminals.

Re: 96 JGC Guages stop working but still power

tried that even replaced a battery cable. Still having issues. We thought it could be the alternator because for some reason someone had put on a 90 instead of a 120 so we swapped that out also. Just strange. Is it possible one of the computers is going out?

Has anyone else ever had or worked with this problem before?

I have the same issue right now with a 96 also, it too cold out to deal with it right now. My guess is a Battery Temperature Sensor or poor connection at the computer.

Re: 96 JGC Guages stop working but still power

My 1996JGC had the same problem. There is an electrical connector in the wiring harness just to the left of the glove compartment with aprox. 6 wires, rectangular in shape. This is inside the cab and and be reached without removing any trim. On my Jeep, there was a bad connection at this plug. This caused the wires to heat up, resulting in an bad connection. I simply cut out the connector and installed butt-splices on the wires. BTW, it took me a year to find the solution to this problem. Hope this helps.
