99 corolla, sometimes driving and suddenly dash lights, a/c and power windows stop working, they just come off. Is that a bad ignition switch? Now the car wont even start.

If the key is turned to the acc postion everything works. As soon as I try to start the gauges go out the A/c goes off. Radio goes haywire. And when I try to start there is no sound not even a click just everything is totally dead.

Check battery and cables, especially grounds. It sounds like it is shorting.
