the CB might be blowing and it takes some time to cool down and reset.

good luck.

pull your window switch,take it apart and clean the points with a piece of cardboard (CIGARETTE PKG WORKS GOOD)
or something similar,Usually the points are just covered in crap.
done my 88's many times
if you want use an real fine emory cloth but careful you don't take too much off the points.
