Default Momentarily lost dash and radio power

Hi All,

Just a quick post for ideas. Im thinking ignition switch. I momentarily lost power to dash and radio when I shifted from Park to Drive in my 03. I shut truck off and turned lights off and back on and everything came back. Radio had to reset and came back on with a different station. No further issues and it hasnt done it again, however I would like to find the problem and fix it before my getaway for a couple months. thanks. Now to look at wiring diagrams.....
....

Two things to look for: 1) A broken/chafed "hot" wire, 2) broken/chafed ground.
