My 91 Bronco is doing the same thing. On the Bronco it''s the ignition switch. You can take it apart and clean the contacts or spend the 200 bucks and have a new one installed. It's a reasonable no brainer to take apart and clean. I had my switch replaced around 15 years ago. The truck is rarely used anymore but I hate to sell it due to the fact it will go places you won't walk. The new 4x4 crap won't hardly go where the Bronco will go in 2 wheel drive.
