Ever since I bought this car I have had this problem. The radio and power windows would randomly turn off and randomly trun back on. Now, the speedometer and RPM stopped working too. What is going on?

Try wiggling the ignition switch when they cut off or try shutting off car and restarting and see if they start working. If they do replace the ignition switch

Mastertechtim, could it not be either the keyed ignition, or the electric one on the dash? That is what went out on my 95 trans am. I do believe it to be either one of the two

The electrical switch is usually the one that fails. The key turns a ignition cylinder which switches the electrical ignition switch

Ok, thats what I though, not a true mech and always thought that the keyed one was the switch and the one on the colomn was the electric switch. The back screw is so fun to take out!
