Default Help, Lost dash and parking lights

I just got my 1998 Vert and am having a problem. I've lost my dash lights, parkings lights and anything else that is turned on before the headlights.
They worked fine for a couple of days, then I have to flip it on and off a couple of times to get them working, now they're dead. If anyone has had a similiar problem my mechanic and I would like to get an idea where to look first.

Thanks,
Shelly

It sounds like a bad ignition switch. Many gm cars have had this problem. All gages will either light up and at times completely go dead. You can even lose power as well and the air conditioning can shut down intermittently.Check for codes.
