No inside electrical function at startup

Question: Has anyone had this happen with their truck? Every now and then, when I get in my truck and start it up, nothing inside will work. The radio, clock, cab lights, headlights will work and door switchs too. I noticied this today when I got in to go to work. Truck turned on normally and then I noticied that the clock wasnt lighting up, I tried to turn on the radio and nothing, then I reached up and turned the switch for the cab light and nothing. After about 2 minutes of the truck idling, everything came on and normal ever since. Just wondering if anyone has had this happen to them and what was the problem. Thanks...

I have read on FTE where the fuses are not seated fully causing this..

Try pressing on all the fuses to make sure they are seated.. Especially the circuits you are having issues with..

I've had a similar problem with my climate control not powered up when I start the truck a couple of times. Not sure why but I shut it off and re-start and all is good again.

I know there are relays, I think bosch, look like a 1inch by 1inch block...These have to have current to allow them to shut and sometimes they can get old...If they are not shutting right away and have to heat up in order to shut it can cause this problem...
