Our 2001 Dodge Durango has had it's first problem. (Knock on wood) When the car sits over night and then started the radio and turn signals don't work.  After the car warms up it comes on and works fine. I know intermittent problems are the worst.  If anyone has had this type of problem or any suggestions on where to look it would be appreciated.  I am fairly good with mechanical fixes but electronics are greek to me.  Thanks.

i would probably have an OBD 2 check done.   Take it to a mechanic or even buy the thing from walmart, hooks up to the diagnostic connector under your dash.   It will pull a code and you can use that to figure out whats going on, not sure if this will help but most likely the best place to start.

OFF TOPIC: Have your upper ball joints inspected for premature wear.

There have been many Durango's, and now the Dodge Dakota's have been included in the Federal investigation for premature failures where the actual tire falls off due to poor part design and implentation.

this may sound silly, but replace the fuse and check to make sure the contacts in the fuse box are tight and clean.
