Ignition switch issue?

Video of issue

Engine is idling, power is poor like only one rotor is working as you can hear in the video of me gently applying the throttle, and no gauges are working on the cluster. Issue just fixed itself after I stopped recording the video.

Not sure what to make of this. All fuses are fine and this issue only happens once in a while. Maybe this is the third time it's ever happened.

Thanks!

This could be a bad solder joint. They can come-and-go depending on vibration.
