Question Potential Electrical Problem?

Recently, and now more frequently, my 1998 Boxster has been acting like it will cut off completely while driving, but immediately come back on. Like a power flicker. When this happens, the door locks won't unlock or lock, and when I get out of the car, the door doesn't close. Sometimes it helps if I lower the windows, but when I'm in the parking garage at work, I don't feel safe leaving the windows down. I've read several posts about ignition switches and grounds under the seats, but I don't want to poke around too much until I can figure out the problem.

I had the electrical component of the ignition switch replaced several years. The car has done this in past but it was less frequent, and only while being stopped. Now it's doing this while I'm driving (usually in stop and go city traffic).

Any thoughts or advice?
