Car Problem, 1995 Buick Century

I have a problem with my car. It is intermittent. The problem: Sometimes when I turn the ignition switch on the headlights, tailights and brakelights won't work, the power locks won't work, and the radio looses all of its pre-programmed stations and the clock is reset to 12:00. When i get into it (before turning the ignition switch) I can tell everything is going to work or not by testing the power locks. Everything else runs fine on the car.

I found it.  It was a bad fusible link, wire came out of the connector.   Everything works now.

I also have a problem with the front door power windows.   they go down but not up.   They will go up eventually BUT it takes hours.  For example if you hit the up window button it will go up about 1/2 in.  Then about 10 minutes later it will go up about another 1/2 inch.    Both front windows act this way.    BUT the rear door windows work fine.  Should I replace the motors or do you think it is something else.  

Thanks

Tim

Hey right on, glad you found it. As far as your windows, before replacing the motors, try buying some dry silicone spray ( its in a spray can, usually found at an autoparts store). The reason for using dry silicone is that using WD40 or some other lubricant will attract dirt and dust and gunk up your problem again.   Take your door panels off and spray the window tracts with the dry silicone and keep working it with the windows up and down. 99.99% of the time this is the problem.
