Default Gauges cut off and on while driving.

Today I was going for a little drive, and my gauges on my dash and my stereo all went off. The car was still running but did seem just a tad weaker, but I got a little too nervous to really push it, in fear the car itself might cut off. They did come back on a minute later, but then just the gauges went out and my radio stayed on. The gauges continued to turn off and on every 30 seconds or so until I made it home. I'm not very car smart and dont have much help so any advice would be very greatly appreciated

Check the ground from battery to body. Also make sure your battery terminals are tight. At least that's what caused it on my car a long ways back.

Ya one of my terminals is coroded, my buddy and cousin both say that's gotta be it, so I'm gonna try to wire wheel or sand the corrosion off and see if that fixes it. Thank you for the help!
