For the window, jiggle the accordian tube between the door and the A-pillar to see if you have a funky connection.

There is a contact in the hazard switch for the brake lights. It's after the switch but before the feed for the 3rd brake light. That's the place I would look first. Try cycling the hazard switch a bunch of times and see if they come back and then you'd know it's the problem.
