When I switch to the RUN position, everything works, when I START the car, the wipers, fan and radio go off, when I switch off and put key back to RUN position, everything works again.

This happens 90%. Other 10% when I start everything is ok, but may fail while driving.

Hard to drive in snow without wipers/heater fan!!

THANKS

Sounds like the ignition switch has a bad spot in it. Can you make things work by wiggling the key? Have replaced many Dodge ignition switches for just such complaints

Thanks for the reply! I've tried wiggling the key while its in the RUN position but those electircs don't come back on. Was hoping it might be a relay but will try to look at ignition switch a littel closer.

Thank you for the thoughts!
