2004 Chevrolet Cavlier LS Electrical issue

Hey everyone,
Thanks in advance for any assistance you offer with this.
Started just a couple of days ago when I turn the key over and nothing, no bells, no lights nadda. I randomly stepped on the brakes and lo and behold the dash lights up and I was able to start the car. Progressively it has gotten worse. ALL OF THIS IS DURING START UP! No problems if the car actually starts up.
I step on the brakes and the entire electrical system freaks a couple seconds, sometimes the trunk pops, sometimes it doesn't. Bells are a little lower than usual and I turn the key and get nothing, dash blacks out again. Just random. Harder to get the car started. Pop it in neutral, sometimes it'll start, sometimes not. Just wiggling things around trying to track it down and no luck.
Replaced the crank relay under the hood. still no love.
Any ideas???

Thank you~
