Hi Everyone,
Have had the above intermittant issue for awhile now. Thought i'd run it by everyone.

So occassionally when i start up the power windows dont work and the radion doesnt work...then within 5 min or so they work.

I am assuming some kind of short or corrosion on some wires or something.

Thanks,
Terry

I'd try the accessory relay in the fuse compartment below the steering wheel. There are two columns with relays stacked on top of each other, I believe its the column on the right,and the relay on the bottom of that column. The writing on it should be upside down. Check it out and maybe try getting it replaced. That, or it could be your door switches, but my money is on the relay.

i swapped relays as the guy above suggested. No radio or window problems since.

Thanks,
Terry

Also, be aware that if you have the OEM clearance lights on the F-350, those can (and do) leak rain water, and can (and do) spill onto your electronics on the driver's side. At least it is something to keep an eye on.
