Default Help! Wierd electrical Gremlins??

In the past few weeks this is what has occured. Had a check engine light that said service soon. This occured after a restart at a rest area. I stopped at a dealer why on a trip and found no problem. A few weeks later a another warning at startup in the heat of the afternoon. This warning said service trans. Again on restart message went away. Today after restart at the beach 85 degrees the electronic a/c will not work. The a/c light at the button flashes and the outside temp says its 27 degrees??? I stopped for about an hour than resumed my trip with the a/c now working and the outside temp reading 83 correctly. Does anybody have any advice. I hesitate to go to the dealer because it is intermitant, or will they be able to diagnose these problems. It sounds like an electrical gremlin. I have a 99 vert. Thanks

tighten up your battery post and check your altenator make sure the pully is not moving up and down also check the alt power wire to ensure its tight.
