ok but its only the windows and stereo that cuts out the engine rarely cuts out window wipers still work and fan still think it could be the switch just want to be sure before i buy a new one :)

Impossible for me to tell for sure from here . You need to get an auto electrician to check and verify if the switch is faulty if you want to be certain .By all means it could be something else .
