Found a solution to electrical problems

For all of you who have had electrical problems, i.e.
1. Power steering loss
2. Wipers not working
3. Logicon not working
4. Idiot lights lighting up
5. Dome light not working
6. Break lights not working
7. Stereo jumping off and on

I was troubled forever on all plus more problems. I changed batteries, alternators, check every wiring, etc. but nothing worked. Then it clicked (literally). I had been turning the key too far on start up so it was just after the on position (like 1 milimeter). It solved everything. I feel like an idiot.
Now you can laugh, or learn from what I did. Thanks.

Been there, done that. With about ten keys on the chain, the weight of the keys kept the circuit from working even thought the engine was running. Wiper won't work somethimes due to this but only somethimes and the fix is simply touching the ignition key. Definetly not worth r squaring the ignition.
