Thumbs up Just jiggle the key...

So I have a 2000 sport with just over 40,000 miles. It's in great shape and the interior is like new. The issue I have is that occasionally my radio and power windows cut out(no power) while running. if I jiggle the key front to back they come back on. It seems to be happening more often and it happens when I go to roll down my window, I press the button and it cuts out.
Where do I start? The driver side window control?
Thanks

The only thing jiggling the key affects is the ignition switch, and they are known to go bad.
That's where I'd start.
