Default radio turning off and on

my stereo in my 01 Dakota is going crazy it goes off and on all the time sometimes I have trouble with the blinkers also. Is there a relay that could be acting up and if so where is it?

Is it the factory stereo or an aftermarket?

What is the problem with the blinkers?

Default ignition switch

I think my ignition switch is affecting my stereo and blinkers. Could it be the switch or the lock cylinder? When a wiggle the keys everything works. It also acts up more when it's cold out.

I was also going to say ignition switch. Does the overhead console (if equipped) go out?
