You sir have a ground issue. I think I read on here somewhere that there are 2 ground wires under the hood towards the nose that breaks or corrodes. I think it is under the electrical sticky

You most likely have a WET BCM or a Class II Serial Data Buss issue.

BCM controls all that stuff.

Its easy to check the BCM and passengers foot well for water/dampness. MAKE SURE, that you check to see if the carpet insulation under the seat is damp cause thats where any water in the foot well ends up.
