very strange electrical
my 1996 Cherokee sport sat all summer with a dead battery so thing fall I put a new battery in and it starts and runs fine but the headlights, the signal lights, and the brake lights don't work, at least not at first...after running for several minutes everything started working again, so I thought strange but ok...so then the jeep sat for just over a week and the same thing, started and ran fine but not lights until after it idled for several minutes then all magically worked again...very strange at least to me...any thoughts out there?...
