Could this be a relay problem? please read on
 
Now, for some reason, my turn signals, rear defroster and a/c fan controls all quit working at the same time. Then, if I either jiggle the ignition switch a little or hit several bumps in the road, all of them start working again, simataineously. What the hell could that be? Relay? Bad connection that ties them all together??? I just don't know what it could be anymore?

The way that all of the wiring is routed in these cars is just very strange.. All that I could really suggest is going to a Ford dealership and asking if they have ever heard of the problem before..

IMHO it sounds like a loose ground or something along those lines.. If a relay was bad then I don't see how it would shut off and come back on.. :dunno:

1. roll the windows down about 2" per side
2. light some paper on fire
3. place burning paper under dash on carpet
4. act surprised when fire department shows up

This morning, when I started it up, nothing worked (of course), so after screwin' with the ignition switch several times of turning it off and restarting it, it finally started to work. So, I went back in the house, hoping the windows would be defrosted when I got back..., nope! At some point, when I got it working and went back in the house, it missed up again. At work today, during lunch break, a co-worker and myself went to lunch in it and the blinkers weren't working again, ARGH!! I just barely pulled the ignition switch back towards me and they started working again. They never messed up anymore today after I did that, so that's a good thing :boink: Could it be something in the ignition switch?

Update! It was the ignition switch that works in conjunction with the ignition cylinder, if that makes sence?
