    Sounds like a bad ground

    second this. Looks like a ground is shorting out to me.

    maybe start the VX up, get under the dash and wiggle all the wires possible and see if the dash flips out at all.

    i could see the electrical voltage issues too...

    Any wires in close proximity to your feets/pedals could be getting moved?...

    LOL
    Awesome DuB...

    I drove it a bunch more today... no issues.
    I HATE random/sporadic issues like these.
    They are so hard to diagnose since they don't happen regularly.
    I'll try moving wires tomorrow. Hopefully something will trigger it.
