Slight power delay after whip install?

This is very strange but I have a slight power delivery delay when I start my XP1K. The reason I know this due to the ever so slight delay of the digital read out on the speedo. The digital read out takes about half a second to show up. This only started once I installed my lighted whips. It is kind of annoying as the whips come on each and every time I start the machine. Not sure why this happens either? I have to physically turn them off with the remote. They are not supposed to do this? We installed a set on my friends rig the exact same way with no power delay? His stay off till the power button is pushed on the remote. Just like it should work. Everything is fused and runs thru a separate block just exactly like my friends rig. Battery is showing 14V and voltage regulator appears to be working correctly. What am I missing?

Thinking of adding the whips to a dash mounted switch anyway but should not have to. Thanks I advance for any insight. SM
