electrical problem

1/2 the time the window and wipers won't work for the first 30 sec after start up. You can hear a relay pop then they work normally.
Thanks Greg

Locate the associated relay that controls these functions. Remove the relay and physically inspect it and it's contacts. If it looks ok (no corroded or discolored contacts/cracked case etc..) then swap with another relay of the same size and type. If no change in function occurs then your only other alternatives would be to physically inspect/troubleshoot the affected circuit, take to a qualified repair facility or dealer. Listing the trucks details (year/mileage etc..) is always a good idea so others have better information to help or guide you in your problem.

Good luck
