No power windows/sunroof after starting car...

[Stephen Ankney]

Kent, Kneale...

Yes, the power windows and sunroof work with the key in the on 
position...for about a minute. Then they go out until I restart the car/turn 
the ignition off.

I'll look at the load reduction relay. It'd be nice if it was something that 
simple.

I have not looked at the trunk wiring lately.
