Default 2009 F150 Instrument Clusters shuts down

I've been trying to find a fix for this for months. Have anyone seen this before, only happens while driving (see video) my air conditioner shuts off for a few seconds then I lose my instrument cluster for just a few seconds then everything comes back on. Sometimes I just lose the air conditioner for a few seconds, or I get a error message check charging system. I have had the charging system checked, I've replaced the battery. I can drive for days without it happening and some days it happens 3 to 5 times within 30 minutes. And today the tire pressure fault light came on this truck is driving me crazy. I've been told it's the main computer failing, or the Instrument Clusters board has a crack in it. Please help!!

Default Did you ever figure this out?

Have you figured this out? I have the same issues and this is the first post I’ve found about someone else with the same issue. Hopefully you’re still active on here

I had a similar issue on my 1998 Lincoln Town Car. I my case it turned out to be the alternator producing a very high ripple in the output voltage. There are other causes for instrument cluster problems but mine turned out to be the alternator.
