Well I put in a new ignition/ steering column in my car a week or so ago, and before that I had almost no working electrical components. Once I put it in everything work again(gauge cluster, dash lights, tail lights, brake lights, turn signal, door open chime, headlight motors, everything) I went out to work on it today and started her up again and nothing worked, so I let it sit there for awhile and still nothing, but I revved it a few times and then all of a sudden, absolutely everything worked again.

Does anybody know what the deal is, I mean I know that everything works now, but do I have a loose connection of some sort? If not any other ideas?

Check grounds and fuses.

check connections. sounds like a loose connector to me.
