Engine stalls/dies while driving
As suspected the ignition switch didn't solve a thing. I replaced it early this afternoon and within 10 minutes leaving my house both the momentary cut out and the complete stall (where I have to cycle the keys) happened.
Any other ideas? I have an appointment on Tuesday for a tech to look at it, not the dealership.

Sucks dude, how about what billman suggested with the power outlet. Did your device loose power at all??

Side note, I just drove well over 100 miles with all kinds of driving with no problems. It's so weird how intermittent this problem is.
Found a hairline fracture in a soldier joint inside the main relay. I re soldiered the joint but I'm really thinking this is the cause of the problem. If not the entire main relay assembly itself. The relay contacts from being switched so many times could have a build up on them.
If I were to do it all over again I would say do the ignition switch and the main relay first. That would be the most likely fix to this problem. I'll report back if the stall happens again. But I still expect this to fix the problem.
