I have a 1987 v10 pickup when you do anything as far as just moving the steering column shifting gears turning or going over bumps the lights and the radio all cut off and come right back has anyone else had this problem or have idea what too check for I think it could be a lose ground or a messed up circuit or module they share I really don't wanna replace a whole column if I can fix it

The ignition switch is mounted to the top of the column, you probably need to lower the column down and have a look at the wiring and check the ignition switch adjustment.

Yeah, I had one that if the column wasn't tilted just so...the wipers would sweep randomly and every once in a while the horn would just start blowing. Finally just gave up and drove it like a semi.
