Loss of electrical

OK well the ignition switch didn't solve my problem.

I was driving to work today and lost electrical again. Engine died, instrument panel went dead, no signals, no hazards.

I do not know if the headlights or brake lights were working. I was in the middle of the street so I walked off to the side to be safe. I waited for a tow truck. Insurance covers the towing . When I got home I turned the key and had power again. So now its going to be harder to figure out whats going on. I wish it would stay dead so I can trace it down.

Battery is good. The problem is intermittent and seems completely random (sometimes dead in the morning, sometimes dies while taking off, sometimes dies while stopping, sometimes dies while driving = random).

I plan to look for loose connections. I was going to start from the battery and go from there.
Any tips or ideas what may cause this?
