a few weeks ago the windows wouldnt roll down, radio turned off and wipers stopped working then car died going down road. a little while later it started and everything was working fine. today i turned it off and went to restart it and got nothing on dash but the mil and gear position lights, and it doesnt even turn over. took a look a ignition lead wires and they have power. any ideas?

Sounds like it's time to test the battery and charging system.

the battery and alternator is good i forgot to say that in the last week i was having problems starting and could mess with the switch (wiggle back and forth) to get it to start. i thought it was the switch but i checked the ignition wires and it appears to be working. could it still be the switch? im at a loss. feel free to ask me any questions as i may have forgot to say somthing

Is the security light flashing when this is happening?

If you installed a new ignition switch I guarantee it isn't going to start if the Passkey resistance doesn't match the module expected value.
