Ignition switches fail and need replaced.

First thing I would do is clean all battery cables and make sure they are tight and check the cable going to the underhood fusebox.

Also when the key is in the run position does the radio and blower motor work but not the instrument cluster?
If that is the case then the Ignition switch is high on the list of suspects.

If no power flow anywhere,then connections are a concern.

All fuses under dash are good question though to replace the ignition switch will I need to remove the steering wheel? I've purchased the part installing today
