Default Electrical gremlin - help diagnose

So occasionally over the last month I have had a nano second blip of what feels like the ignition cutting out while driving along. Just this last couple of days though I have had a bad cutting out of power. But get this the radio display shows as if its on and the car still runs but the lights were coming on and off, the actual speakers weren't outputting sound though the display was on. Even hitting the radio **** on and off still no sound. Also the ABS and Airbag light were on. Only once I turned the keyed ignition switch off and then on did everything clear its self and of course the radio sound came back.

It sounds like a relay is switching at the same time but not 100% sure.

Any thoughts before I go under the dash?
