Lbdltld1, from the sounds of things, the switch side of your ignition switch is starting to fail and in this case, you are not making connection to supply battery power to the switchable wires. But, as you roll the key to the RUN position, you are hitting a different pad of the same circuit, which is then able to make contact and power stuff. But, this is where a shop will be able to confirm it.
