It’s an intermitent problem that occurs right after starting my car. The car will start fine, but the airbag light will keep beeping, the turn signal won’t work, the wipers won’t work, and the radio won’t work. The next time I start the car everything will be fine. Help! ---

It sounds like the areas you stated aren’t getting power to them. This may be due to a faulty switch contact in the ignition switch. That would be my first spot to check. There could be a faulty relay involved but I kind of doubt it. There may be a bad fuse connection also. Checking a wiring diagram for the common point to power would show places to check for the trouble. ---

While you are at it, check the battery lugs and posts for oxidation or fautly contacts.
