Possible electrical issue - help!
 

Currently own a 1984 Porsche 944, 5 speed, non-turbo. Issue: sometimes when car is stopped and turned off, antenna won't retract, insert key and nothing, no lights, no electric. Pop the hood, wiggle cables, close hood, insert key and everything works. Not sure where to start first. Brand new battery last year. Does not happen consistently, I just don't want to be somewhere and get stranded. Any thoughts where to start looking? Anyone else experience this? Thanks for any assistance.

Ignition switch ---maybe, just a guess.
