  ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  I'VE REPLACED TWO IGNITION SWITCHES PREVIOUSLY. ON 1/23/16 ANOTHER SWITCH FAILED. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND SUDDENLY QUIT RUNNING AND DASH LIGHTS POWER, RPM AND BATTERY WENT OFF. STARTED THE CAR AGAIN, AND AS I PUT IT IN REVERSE IN MY DRIVEWAY, THE ENGINE DIED AGAIN CAUSING LOSS OF POWER AND STEERING CONTROL. THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT THIS WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN AGAIN.
