Maybe your cylinoid is going bad? Or a bad ground somewhere?

I'm thinking it's a ground problem but not sure. It's not gonna be fun tracing down this problem. Hoping that someone has had the same problem with their truck.. When you crank it up the lights will work for a couple seconds then you here a click under the dash as the lights stop working? About to pull my hair out with this issue lol..

UPDATE...... Figured out what it was so thought I'd share in case someone else runs into this problem. It was the ignition switch ...
