"Starting" relay issues (+new member intro)
First off new member here, savvy to forums for years, I have a new to me '03 EB X with the 7.3 and a hole in my oil pan, but that's another issue 
Anyways this looks like the place to be for the best info, so I'm glad to finally join up after lurking for the last month or so.
I'm not exactly sure what the part is, or what the issue really is, I'm thinking it's a relay sticking.
Sometimes when I start the truck, as usual a relay or something turns off all auxiliaries radio, window power, map lights, normally if comes right back on after the start, lately it's been sticking off and none of the auxiliaries work for a short period of time, and maybe up to a minute later they come back on.
Can anyone guide me in a name or where to start looking or what exactly the issue is?
Thanks!

I think you can try turning on your headlights to wake up your relay and it's related functions. I think the electronic climate systrem also is without power. Only had this happen twice in last 3 years...
I think its a relay part of the dash cluster and everyone lives with just turning on the headlights to wake up the relay.
