Electrical Problem
not sure what my problem is, but maybe one of u guys can help me out.
the symptoms:
car starts, but gauges, radio and power windows wont work. everything else is fine.
after driving for various amounts of time, everything starts to work like normal.
recently, turning off or on the a/c can cause the gauges and other symptoms to occur. also, turning on the cruise control sometimes takes care of the problems.
my theory is it is the ignition switch. what do u guys think?

BCM got wet then..
common problem..
It just screams of a water problem thats all..
Your BCM is in the trunk I belive on the right side.. I could be wrong..
Ever once thought something got wet in your trunk ? or there was moisture on something in your truck..?

Well, only thing you can do is try..
I would suggest taking out your whole gauge cluster, and re-installing..
It could be as simple as a loose connection..
I would start there..
But most if not all of what your talking about is the BCM module..
So unplug that, then plug it in..
Go get creative..

i forgot to mention, the car starts when the key is simply in the on position, does not need to be turned all the way to the start position to start the car.
