What are the fuses like? Mine did this and the fuses were good (first thing to check) but the connectors in the fuse box were loose and making intermittent contact. Easiest way to check that is to turn the key on and shake the wires as they go into the fuse box to see if you can get the indicator lights to flash on.

You're welcome. I look at every goofy problem I've had to confront as an opportunity to pass on a little knowledge. I'm still running into these "opportunities".

You can just get 4 individual blade fuse holders or a fuse block of some sort and those would work fine. If you have any interest in fitting the fuses in the original fuse box, you could try this:
