Default Slight problem

So I seem to have a little electrical problem. Sometimes when the key is on or the car is running the radio and cd player wont work(the little screen with the time is blank too) and when that happens the windows won't roll up or down either. It doesnt do this all the time but it is a little annoying, especially with the windows stuck up and no radio to listen to. Anybody have any ideas on whats up?

It might be a bad solder in the BCM.

it could be like mine and have a worn out ignition key cylinder... if where you put the key in is wobbly at all... try just putting a bit or torque on the key when nothing is turning on... if it lights up, that's your problem.
