Welcome to AF.

To start make sure your battery and charging system is good. Also, check the battery positive and negative cables and the terminals at the battery.

If that is good then you have an ignition switch acting up.

I agree with Bob. Start with the simple stuff like loose or corroded battery connections. If that checks out, you're going to need an ignition switch/harness, which is a pretty common issue on these cars.

There is a bulb that is behind the display that is going bad. You have to open up the radio in order to replace the bulb.
