Does the air bag light come on too? Its a very common issue for the late models it seems, my 98 does it sometimes too.... A swift tap on the dash and they come right back.
I think I read its related to the connector for the cluster iirc. Some say to take the cluster out and clean out the connector and add a little dielectric grease and it usually fixes it.

No air bag light, it's already a different cluster. I've cleaned the connection like ten times. It'll shut off then turn on at least 5-7 times in 10 mile drive. Its getting pretty old an starting to **** me off haha
