It sounds like you have a connection problem or a ground problem or both. There is a known ground problem not making good contact that runs behind the driver side kick panel near the door. Someone else will chime in with more info.

Ok guys I meant the digi dash. The upper left hand corner is dimmer than the rest of it. When it quits it goes haywire then dark frozen in a haywire state. Then back to normal. The upper left hand corner is still dimmer than the rest of it. No high beam or turn signal problems.

An interesting fact though is that there is a chip on the CPU board that was actually used in early Atari gear. It's called a VIA or Versatile Interface Adapter and is a 40 pin chip at U3 on the CPU board. It is a Delco piece, but was designed for the Atari and was used in many early computers. It conditions Tach and Speedo signals for input to the CPU and processes the Function Select Switches. Did a repair on a cluster where this chip had failed and actually managed to find a place that had them! Bought the ten they had, cause you never know.
