Default Strange issue with my gauges 99XJ. Please help!

Hi all

I'm new to forum and to fixing my Jeep. Here's the issue...

I'll be driving along when all of a sudden, my airbag light pops on
and all my gauges drop to 0. MPH, RPM, FUEL, TEMP. Everything just drops simultaneously.

There are 2 ways I've figured to get them back on while driving.

1. Pull and flash headlights. Either on or off will do it.

2. Wait for a bump and eventually they'll jump back to normal.

Any ideas what could this be from? Where should I start looking?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Since the Headlight switch being pulled on/ off/ on / off and the *bump* in the road trick seems to work start checking for dirty or loose connections under the dash.. hope that helps..
