Car starts fine, everything works except the power windows and temp controls. Usually takes 2-5 mins for them to get power then no problems. When I go to use the windows or temp controls, if they dont work, the ABS Brake warning light comes on. This usually happens after the car has been sitting overnight, and after a cpl miles driving, they eventually have power and then no trouble. Car has new battery and no other troubles. The check engine light comes on also but havent had time to have that checked. Any ideas what I could check to solve the power loss would be appreciated.

When the problem is ongoing, check for voltage at the power window circuit breaker, key on.
