need help with 850 engine start puzzle 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Victor850t5 on  Thu Jun 20 04:02 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Strange things happen every second time (randomly) when I start the engine
Engine by itself starts perfectly,
but lights ABS and TRAC OFF are on,
speedometer does not work,
turn signal switch does not work,
low beam lights do not work,
auto transmission is locked in the park unless push the unlock button.
Performance of other components seems OK, I was able to drive home 60 miles without any problems except mentioned.
What could be the common reason for described symptoms?
This behavior happens only at start, after that it is like yes or no situation, nothing changes until you stop the engine and start again.
I checked fuses, they look OK for me.
Your opinion, advice would be appreciated.
