Default Electrical problems

I need some help on an electrical problem on my 02 Z. It is fine and then all of sudden lights start flashing the AC quits, the radio quits, the windows won't roll up or down and it says reduced power. If I pull over and slam the door it all starts working again? It must be some type of modual in the door but does anyone know what I need to replace?
Thanks in Advance.

Check the wiring between the door and the door frame. If any of the wires are visibily damaged then that could be your problem.

Take the door apart and check to make sure all connectins are good.

Might want to check to see if the BCM is or ha been wet. It's under the a/c evaporator and if the drain clogs it will leak on to it.

It got worse today I had to drive all day with the window down. Slamming the door did not get it started again? I was told at the chevy dealership to reboot the system by taking the hot leed from the battery and touching the ground side for 10 seconds, then hook it back up. He also said that the harness under the drivers seat will sometimes wear and short out so I will be checking that also. I will check the other stuff also. I live in Phoenix so it is pretty dry here the only time it gets we is when I wash it.
