Re: electrical power problem

I have heard of the wire ribbon that comes down the column will get a break in it. Or the connector for it under the dash comes loose or corroded. You may need to do continuity tests on the wires from one end to the other. It could also be the key switch itself and there are some relays in the circuit that can start to go bad. A relay switches over power from one set of wires through it to a different set of wires when it receives power. When it goes bad it can either not do the initial switch or it could switch but not unswitch again when the power is removed. Lots of "could be's" in electrical problems.
