Electrical components don't work

Occasionally, when I start my 89 GX, many of the electrical components don't work (the sunroof, the wipers, and the vents. But while driving it will come on out of no where, or if I turn the car off and back on, it works again. Anybody have that before?

It's really annoying. It happens maybe like 1/10 or 1/15 times that i drive it...pretty much everything else in the car works tho, i haven't noticed anything else that didn't work while the sunroof and wipers didn't work

I think vent=heating/cooling controls..

Anywho, I'm guessing the engine runs fine during all of this?

Sometimes my wipers would not work. It was nothing but the weight of my keys in the ignition. The car would start and run, but I had to lift/jiggle the key for the wipers to work. Only once. Not continuously during the drive. Lighten up your keys.
