Symptoms: -Start the car, no power to radio/wipers/mirrors/cig lighter. They will return to working normally on 1-2 restarts. Seems to happen more often on hot days for some reason.

Ive checked fuses, harnesses, batt terminals, replaced relay (no difference), and checked the grounds. Any other ideas, this is a really annoying problem

p.s. Also when i turn the key to accessory power (car off) it always gets power. As soon as i start it tho it goes out again.

Sure sounds like a intermittantly sticking failing relay to me

Test ignition switch for proper operation.
