2011 FX4 SCAB center console shut off.

3 times today the center console turned off and slowly rebooted. AC/Heating, radio, windows and anything else in the center part just shut off. I was able to to steer and the vehicle was still running but it gave me a good scare. Anyone have an idea what the hell happened?

We had a diesel at work do this. Everything on the dash would either get really bright or shoot to the max (speedo, rpm, etc in the cluster). It may sit off for a bit, then come back on just fine; all the while the truck ran fine just no interior electronics. I passed it off as a short somewhere, come to find out after the truck died completely it was the alternator going bad. The low battery and needing a jump that morning should have been my indicator, but I payed for it 120 miles outside of town with nothing around... :o
