Kent, I am 60 and been playing around with cars since the 1960s, like a back yard mechanic. Did this all start at once? The are a couple of things I can think of , 1. check the body grounds , 2, the igniton switch could be bad, or 3, a crossed wire. Maybe one of the other moderators can add anything to this
