[Shotimes] Dash Lights

[bobsteig@att.net]

Just began experiencing the same thing 2 weeks ago. When I first turn on the 
ignition everything's ok, then when I start the car the dash, clock, and 
windows don't work. I turn off the ignition and restart once or twice and 
all's well again. Doesn't happen every time either, just once in maybe 5 
starts. I thought it might be my aftermarket radio/cd 'cause I don't listen 
to it much and I usually leave the detachable head unit at home, but I was 
driving some people around and put it in for them, so I took it out, but it 
still happened once in a while. I now think it's the ignition switch, but I'm 
not 100% on that. Meanwhile it doesn't seem terminal, just a PITA.

Tonight I went out to drive up to the store and my dash lights would not
come on.  I think remember George saying something about this problem being
ignition switch related.  I played with everything that might have some
relationship to the dash lights but could not get them to come on.  When I
left the store the dash lights worked correctly!

Any ideas?
