I have a weird problem. On startup my windows and wipers don't work straight away EPB doesn't release straight away and if warm,the temperature gauge doesn't work straight away..After about 15 seconds they all work and everythings back to normal till I turn off,then away we go again.
I suspect a bad earth,but which one? Any ideas?

When my electrical system went goofy on my 2004 xj8 a few years ago it was the ground nuts behind the headlights that were loose. Particularly one behind the passenger side inner head lamp but it was easy to get to. The one behind the drivers side was more challenging. Once I tightened them up a bit (not too tight, they're aluminum remember!) all things went back to normal. I think those behind the lights are subjected to the elements and maybe more jarring and bumps from normal vehicle movement then those on the inside of the car (?).
