Intermittent Power Failures

Not at good month with my 86 NA 944. It’s been one whack-a-mole after the other.

The latest is an electrical gremlin that cuts off power to various electrical components in an intermittent fashion. No sooner does the power goes off to the windows, instruments, windshield wipers, headlight motor, AC/heater fan only to return later on.

I already thoroughly cleaned the battery posts/terminals and the chassis ground near the battery. I also cleaned the headlight motor ground and tested its relay and the motor worked just fine at the time.

I’m thinking that it has to be either a ground issue, a relay, a faulty ignition switch or perhaps a bad connection in the fuse box, right?

Given that the components in question are all fused/relayed separately and the only common element is the ignition switch; doesn’t it make sense to conclude that the switch is faulty?

Your comments please!
