Weird electrical problem?
Ok so last night the GF and I were eating at a restraunt after a little off roading when we went to leave I turned the ignition key and no power. I left the key on and turned the stering wheel a hair then all of a sudden I had power and it started. It hasnt done it since so I dont know where to start looking. Oh my heep is an 88 with 4.0

Ok I figured I would update this. So yesterday the jeep died well kinda, I turned the key and had no power so I checked my battery and had a full charge, so I did a quick test on the Ignition Switch and I had Power coming in but no Power out so I replaced the Ignition Switch and it Lives again.
