turn key, wait, cant start until those darn red warning lights on the dash come on!! 700

hey BB,
For the past couple of winters I've had this problem of delayed starting. When the temp drops my car goes into hibernation. Normally when the key is turned to the second position, power comes on to the gauges and all the red warning lights come on right away. But when my brick gets too cold ther is a delay for this to happen, and she wont start until it does. I think it may be a relay somewhere because i can hear it tick just as th lights come on.
Its not a terrible problem, but its getting to be annoying, and if someone needs to move my car and doesnt know it just cranks over and over, and that hurts me inside!!

Thanks in advance for your help.
