1999 Regal, 3800II, electrical - wont start

The problem oringinated upon activating the turn signal and the car stalled
Now the car starts intermittently.

When problem occurs there are no dash lights when key turned, no window functions, shifter locked, loss of radio power, no headlamps, no blinkers, no dome lights.

Battery good, all connections/grounds good.

Please advise

I think you have a defective ignition switch. Had the same issues plus a few more that didnt make any sense. Replaced the ignition switch and all is back to normal now

Welcome to AF guys.

I agree ignition switch. Just check our old threads on the issue and how to DIY replace it.
