Windows/Radio/Compass/Locks don't work on startup

I tried this in another forum, thought I'd throw it into the "general" forum and see if anyone can help....

My 1998 Lincoln Continental starts up fine in the morning...but the windows, radio, auto locks and "compass" on the mirror don't always start up immediately. Once I've been on the road for a few minutes, they "kick in" and start working. Anyone experience this or know why?

Sometimes I put the "heat" on, and that seems to speed up the process.

Thanks.

My compass sometimes needs the plug in the mirror wiggled before it makes a connection. I do this every second time I start the car.

I have noticed only once my radio and climate display not working and did come on when I wiggled the plug in the mirror. I only have done this once so far.

Regards,
Brad.
