Car starts but nothing is on?????

[boehm8699]

I have an 02 Alero and this is very strange. I insert the key and turn the ignition to "acc" and I get the normal radio, windows, etc. Turn to ingnition to "on" and nothing. Continue and turn the ignition to "start" and the car starts but nothing is on. No instrument, no radio, no fan, no lights. After a period of time everything comes to life. As a side note this does not happen all the time.

HELP!!

Sounds like a bad ign switch or contact at the switch.
