I cant figure this out...when I start my car (any time of the day) the
car stereo does not come on, nor does the digital clock (I have a 98
Toyota RAV4).  When I start to drive down the road, I can see th LED
for the clock start to flicker a little and then get brighter.  Once it
comes on fully, the car stereo comes on....and all is well.....untill I
turn on either my wipers or my turn signals....this causes the stereo
to shut off....

I know that I have some sort of wiring problem....I just had the
ignition switch and relay replaced....started to happen after that....

Is there something I can do?

Bad ground. Could be a ground wire going to the instrument panel(most being
all plastic) or the ground from battery to body.

You can ask a Toyota group.

You don't understand - in the Toyota Group they claim Toyotas are perfect,
so anyone who posts a problem is treated as if they were lying.
