Default Strange problem when cold

I'm hoping some of you may be able to help me explain this....

When my scooby is cold, the clock, radio and blowers don't work. As soon as it gets warmer they all suddenly come to life, often when I'm driving along. It doesn't seem to be a problem when it's a warm morning, just when it's cold...

Any ideas?

You don't say what age your car is, but climate control in AUTO dosn't work until the water temp is, i think 50*. may be someone has take the live feed for the clock& radio from that. hope this helps.

Sounds like a wiring problem. As it warms up the connection is made and the electrics come to life. Could be a ******* to track down though.
