Ignition switch?
Alright so here's my random electrical problem. Sometimes when its hot out, and i turn on my left blinker, all the electrical systems inside shut off (blinkers, stereo, etc). It also does this when I hit bigger bumps. The only way to get them to come back on is to jiggle the key. I know that renix motors have bad ground issues, so i went through and cleaned them all up, and it still does it. My only guess is that ignition switch, before i swap them, i want to see if you guys have any thoughts. Any help would be great guys!

The ignition switch is easy to replace on a renix just did mine a few months ago while doing my ignition lock cylinder
But if u are turning on the blinker and loosing power u may want to replace your blinker assembly witch will untail taking off the steering wheel
