What is the problem when all a car's instruments - speedometer odometer etc stop working all at the same time occasionally and then start working again later on while driving down the road?

If all the instruments behave erratically like that it could be caused either by the main plug onto the circuit board just being loose - it needs pushing back on tight - or maybe it has a worn-out connector pin? Or it could be just one loose wire such as a chassis bonding wire. (Also called a grounding wire.) If you don't know where to look yourself it would be best to get an electrician to check your dashboard display wiring for an intermittent circuit fault. Note: it is unlikely to be caused by a "short" in your electrical system because a chafed hot wire shorting to the chassis frame of the vehicle somewhere - from excessive vibration or whatever - or two wires touching which shouldn't be touching (because of their insulation has gotten chafed) - would usually cause a fuse to keep blowing...

On the 2005 Outback when you change the brightness of the dash lights it shows on the odometer like ill 5 ill 6 well mine shows this while driving and I am not changing the dash lights what can I do?
"ILL.1" through "ILL.6" displayed in the odometer field indicate the level of the dash light dimmer setting. These messages will be displayed briefly when the dash light dimmer setting is adjusted. In the '05 Subaru Outbacks, dash light dimmers are known to fail. When they fail, the "ILL.n" message will appear sporadically in the odometer display without changing the dimmer setting. Replacing the dimmer will correct the problem.
