Hi everyone,
I’ve got an 03 7.3l. The windows and radio have started to work intermittently recently. It’s always both simultaneously. The door locks and other switches on the doors work but the windows do not. Sometimes they start working in 5 minutes of driving. Sometimes it takes as long as half an hour. Several times I’ve had to leave my windows down over night. What would cause a relay to fail and what’s the best way to go about troubleshooting it. Thank you in advance.

Your gauge cluster, think its proper name is instrument delay relay. There are write ups how to bypass it or just send it off to cluster repair. Ive tried to take mine apart to solder it myself but wasnt smart enough to find it. Theres not much in depth info to repair yourself unless folks here have had success. Like i said i just give the dash a swat and it comes back
