Electrical Cutout

[siffsiff]

Now that my A/C is working, I have another issue!

While driving, my Tahoe has momentary power cutouts where the car stalls, radio goes off and clock resets. Sometimes it is a very quick cutout where the car almost stalls (I can tell because the power steering temporarily fails) other times it takes up to 10 minutes to recover power. Problem is that it is intermittent and has not happened at a place where it can be looked at (home or repair shop). Just now, when I pulled off to the side of the road, the power was completely disabled, I could not even lock the electric doors. My guess is that there is a bad relay.

Anyone experienced something similar or have any guidance?

Thanks in advance.

Turns out it was the ignition switch: $541 out the door

Did the switch finally fix it? I am asking because I am having very similar problems with my 94 , what year is yours?

He had a 99 tahoe according to his profile, what is your rig doing exactly?

I think I have narrowed it down to something in the headlight circuit. Although I have to see where the guy before me hooked up the stereo. When I turn on the headlights ,dash lights ,gauge needles start blinking/bouncing ,headlights flicker.
