Hello,

This sounds like you could have a problem with your ignition switch. Over time the contacts in your ignition switch loose continuity with one another. When two contacts that should have continuity with each other, don't, situations like this happen.
In the diagrams down below I have included for you all the information that you will need to test and remove and install your vehicle's ignition switch. Please go through it and get back to us with what you find out.

Thanks,
Alex

Hello again,

Yes, that is what I originally thought the problem was. I included all the information you need in my first reply.

Thanks,
