Finally gave up and took car to the dealership.
They tracked down the problem to a bad relay.300.00 with diagnostics.

well spent.Thanks every body for clues to this problem.Got to know my
car a little better.

Never heard of a bad relay causing symptoms like you described.

Glad it's fixed though.

I'm really curious which relay they said was at fault. My factory wiring
