Having an intermittent ignition switch problem. Put the key in and its as if the battery is dead. Battery is good, alt is good. Then all of a sudden it fires right up like normal. Is that a bad ignition switch? The switch kind of moves around in the colum like its loose. I have never had an ignition switch go bad so I am not sure what the symptoms would be. Anyone have any insight they would like to share?

So its no power anywhere, no headlights nothing. If I disconnect the battery then reconnect it I get power but once i try to turn the truck over it goes back to no power anywhere.
