I have the same problems as everyone else. This usually happens after I started the car, no radio, no door controls, no AC panel control, no gauges reading, low battery light, no and no.
After searching other web site, I am convinced that is is the ignition switch. How? I use a water bottle (with water inside) and tap on the end of the key (when engine is running), and usually just one or two taps, everything turns back on. Before I know this, imagine when the car is hot, windows cannot be lowered, no fan/AC, it was like driving in a furnal. Stupid electrical engineers that GM has. I think the cost to have them replaced is 300~400 bucks. If change it yourseld, it would cost 150 or so just to buy the ignition with a new key, then you have to carry 2 keys, one for ignition, one for the door unless you think your remote will work forever.
