2002 dodge grand caravan.

this just started with no notice, when I have the key in the auxillery position the radio and wipers and windows work. However once I turn on the car they won't? I've checked the fuses and mover several of the relays around but no luck.

Thanks

Fuses and relays are working. You already proved that when they work in the accessory position. More likely to be caused by overheated contacts in the ignition switch. Overheated terminals in the switch connector cause a lot of trouble too but then those items should be dead in both switch settings.
