So today I start my 1997 to drive home from work. Truck starts and runs fine.
However, none of the following work:
wiper (front or rear)
windows
air conditioner/heat
radio
overhead display
overhead lights
ABS light stayed on
The only electrical things that worked were the daytime running lamps, headlights, door locks, and gauges.
So I got it home, put it in the garage, and started it up again.
Everything worked.
What could be causing this?
Im thinking ignition switch, just because I know it can interfere with a lot of things. My father in law mentioned a fusable link wire.

Ignition switch for sure.
Also check for blown fuses.

Fuses are all fine.
I checked all of them before I started it again.......none of them were blown.
