Hi mrpete22,

Symptoms seems to indicate a faulty ignition switch. I would suggest testing it.

Slowly turn ignition key from ACC to ON. Note if the dashlights flickers during the process of turning. Continue to turn to START. If during any of this time the dash indicator lights flickers, the ignition switch is most probably failing.
