Default 94 Dakota no electrical except hazards

94 Dakota SLT extended cab V6 4x4 has intermittent electrical problem. When it happens, all electrical dies EXCEPT for the hazard flashers. It will eventually come back but it may go out again when the key is turned to the "on" position or by pulling the light switch on causing a current draw. Then it eventually will return to normal and and may not happen again for months.
Battery has been swapped with known good battery. Battery cables appear good and good down to starter. All fuses pulled and checked for continuity. Relays under hood pulled and re-seated. I have wiggled under hood wires and checked ground to firewall. Anyone out there experience this same issue and have any suggestions please?
