I will add to Art's comments that my ignition lock cylinder recently wore out at the 422K mark and it was causing me all sorts of similar start-up electrical gremlins. I would start the vehicle and the overdrive button would be on (and wouldn't go off), or the front lights wouldn't work, or the windows wouldn't go down or the back brake lights would not work. It turns out it's a common symptom of a worn out ignition lock cylinder and as Art mentioned, one of the first type of things they do to test the assumption is - w/the vehicle off - to turn the ignition key ever so slightly backwards in the lock cylinder and if the windows, lights, etc. suddenly work, then the cylinder is worn out. There are supposedly copper plates inside the cylinder that rotate with the ignition key and with time, these copper plates wear down. I spent the whole summer picking out and cleaning specific fuses thinking that was the cause....
