Default Electrical problems

I have a 95 Accord Ex 5spd and while driving down the road all the gauges and the clock will go out but the car is still running and the radio is still on and playing. My A/C is on when this happens. The car did cut off but I started it right back up and keep on going. When I got home I tried to find a problem but couldn't. I don't know if I have a short somewhere in the car or what is going on. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Is the gauge cluster working now, or was it just once?

You say the car was running, then you say it died and restarted no problem, I would be keeping an eye out for a new ignition (electrical portion) switch.

The gauges are working now. This problem has occurred three times only once has the car actually cut off. It is just random occurrences that is hard to trouble shoot. Thanks for the input.

Find out what fuse (probably be the same fuse)the clock and gauges are running off ( Check ALLDATA.COM). Then do a draw test on them and check the grounds, could be something simple like a bad ground, or wrong size fuse in...Start at the battery and move on till you reach the load.

Duane_in_Japan is right, you need new ignition switch.
