Hi james would you please guive me a better unswer abouth this car. I forgot to tell you that interior lights, head ligths, battery are good. But when I open the switch. The radio doesn't turn on either. Also you didn't tell me anything abouth that car sometimes cranks but desn't start remember I said all lights on cluster panel don't turn on, check engine light, gas, oil, fuel, etc when I try to start the car, and doesn't crank either.

I'm a little unclear of the history of your vehicle, and how you're connecting the radio with the headlights. If I understand correctly, interior lights and headlights are working ok, but the things operated by the ignition switch do not work every time.

It sounds like you have a bad ignition switch or connector. There are three or four separate switches built into the assembly. The one that turns on power to the radio, power windows, and dash often overheats and melts the plastic housing or the connector. If the connector melts far enough, it can affect the starter circuit too.

Similar problems can be caused by broken wires in the steering column if you move the tilt wheel often. Try changing the position of the steering wheel to see if it makes a difference. If it starts working, the wires need to be repaired.
