No Cluster at Start Up?

Normally I would search or look in my Haynes manual for this but I'm on a deadline. I leave tomorrow after work for Road Atlanta for Zoom Fest, its a 4 hr drive.. Today when I left for work I started the car and the tach, voltmeter, and everything popped up for a second and then went off. I let it idle and start to warm up and all of a sudden everything started to work again???? It has done the same thing 4 times today, any one have any quick checks or quick fixes??

Thanks Robby

Check the second fuse from the rear, left hand side of the fuse box under the dash. The fusible link terminals and the terminals in the box get corroded. Sometimes bad enough to stop power flow. Scraping with a pocket knife or wire brush can make them work again.
