Answer
These are difficult questions to answer. Clearly if it is a recurring fault there is a bad connection somewhere. It is most likely in an electronic unit. To start with I would remove all electrical connectors and make sure they are clean and dry. Other than that you may have to wait until the fault worsens to a point where it can be traced.
