02 Radio/windows
When ever I go to start the truck up it takes 5-10 minutes before the radio and power windows will gain power and start working. Everything else works fine and still drives fine while it doing this. Any suggestions on what could be causing tihs issue?

weirdly enuf, my 03 has just started doing this every now and then...
not enuf i can expect it to do it, but say 1 in 50 starts.
sure enuf after some time (10secs-couple of mins) the radio and windows just start working..
ima have to try that thread and see if it solves my old trucks woes aswell.

I went out and tried it before messing with anything and it did it again. I shut it off pulled the relay out put it back in and checked the rest of them and tried it again and everything worked fine but it hardly ever does it back to back anyway so I'll give it a few days to see before I replace the relay. Mine does it every few start ups so it shouldn't take long to see.

You need to make sure that the terminals
have not stretched and gotten loose in the
main junction box.

Well it's been a week and about 25-30 starts and not a problem since I checked the relays and made sure they were all pushed in good. Thanks for the help, hopefully this fixed it.
