I tried to make it happen by turning everything on......lights, wipers, moving windows, etc. to see if it was somehow load related, but no joy....it's like it only happens in surprise mode.

I'll be there this weekend, so I can try driving at night, just around the 'hood.

Thanks!

I can find no common fault that would effect the symptoms that you describe. There is no common circuit for the issues that you present. The tach and the speedometer run off fuse #6. The radio runs off fuse #2.

The only obvious possibility, if your description of the problem is accurate, is a loose battery cable.
