Default Something electrical? Every dash light comes on

I have a 2008 and when I drive every dash light possible comes on and it dings, stays on for a minute or 2 then goes away. Happens over & over again the whole drive and while it's happening the AC stops blowing cold. When it happens my little screen in the bottom right corner goes blank and wont come back on until I disconnect the battery. I cleaned the battery terminals, didn't help. Its not throwing a code either. Battery is only a few years old, put s new alternator in about 2 years ago. Don't even know where to begin. Any advice on where to even start looking?

check your grounds (search “grounds checklist), have battery and alt tested, if these don’t solve anything, I’d be suspicious of failing cluster. But see what others here have to say.
