Electrical problem when cold

I have a 1987 F150 I6. Today I went out to drive to school and most of my electrical dint work. It was cold, 50-40 degrees. My headlights worked and so did my dashboard lights but my heater and turn signal and warning lights didn't work. It started OK and drove fine. After school is was warmer and all of it worked. What could the problem be?

Thanks for the help

Andrew

Try to jiggle the key in the ignition . Sometimes mine acts that way and it just takes a little bump to make it work. Good Luck
