Electrical issue

Hi gang,

Thought I'd throw this one out to the experts.

Occasionally when I start up the Ex, it can take up to a couple of minutes for the stereo to light up and until it does, the windows will not roll down. The batteries are new, and the engine starts with only a second of cranking. The other day I sat quietly waiting for the time to pass, and I heard a faint click under the dash, and then everything turned on. Weird.
02 7.3 XLT

Any ideas?

Thanks, Curt

For whatever reason, either your accessory delay or the battery saver relay is lazy in getting energized.
