Yeah, the ignition switch on my Escort (and pretty much all Escorts when they get like > 20 years old or more and have over 200K on them) have separate key part and electrical ignition switch parts that cause the car to not start when the electrical part wears out. I could see it doing exactly this but would need to review the schematic to see exactly what common point on the switch would cause this.

It started a year ago and it was rare, when I ahd to wait 3-5 minutes for the AC starting and power windows working.

It is great to hear what actually fixes problems like these. Electrical gremlins can be hard to track down.....especially when they are intermittent.
