Car starts OK , engine runs normally and it is drivable.

Dash lights that stay on include Brake, Air Bag and ABS.

What does NOT work: radio & clock, L/R blinkers, air/heater/blower, electric
windows, front wipers and window wash

Other electrical stuff such as emergency flashers, rear wipers, tachometer,
speedometer, compass (at top of windshield), cab lights, brake and head
lights work properly when the above do not work.

These symptoms are intermittent. Some days everything is normal.

Need someone smart to help guide me thru this conundrum please.

You may want to check for a black cable crossing between the back of th
engine and the firewall.It comes from the alternator and goes across th
back of the engine to the area near the battery (the power distributio
box) My 1999 had a similar problem and I was able to fix it by using
wire tie to raise the cable up. It had been hanging down and touching th
hot tube from the exhaust cat convertor and melted thru the insulation t
create an intermittent short that effected most of the things you referre
to
