VIDEO: 1988 Toronado HELP!!!

I have asked around many places on the net about what could be causing this and how I can fix it. So I thought you guys could help me out. The dash, interior lights and climate controls keep going out! It'll all work fine for a couple or a few minutes, then after that the dash and interiors lights go out and the climate controls follow seconds after.
Here's a link to the video to show what happens:

Everything will work fine for like 2 minutes. Then its all out.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Uggghhhh - Gremlins.

Wait - those only come in the foreign stuff!

Do you have a factory wiring diagram? Gonna need one here!
I thought I heard a click when all went out. Was that a circuit breaker or a relay?
I would suspect something is going screwy with the circuit that the interior lights are on. However, do the interior lights have that fading on and off feature? If so, it could be be somewhere else...

BTW - welcome!

Yes, I believe there is a wiring diagram in the service manual I have for it.

Yes, that was a click you heard. The click sound is around the glove box area when it all goes out. It also makes that click when I have the doors closed and I turn the interior lights on and off by using the switch, same as when I open and close the doors.

Fading on and off option? I have something called Twilight Sentinal and the dimmer switch for the dash if thats what your talking about.

And Thank You for the welcome
