Default electrical nightmare

ok so i have a 99 frc the problems originally started with the pass window not goin down/up sometimes then it progressed to check tire press system, check traction, now ill be driving and the window will stop working, the door speaker will go out the the radio all my gauges and it'll pop up service tract, service tire press , low fuel, the security light comes on and reduced engine power. i checked cleaned and put dielectric grease on the to engine bay and the door jam grounds. it stopped for about a month, then started up again last night. any ideas sometimes when i hit bumps in the road everything will just go back to normal.

thats what i was going to say! may still want to go get the BCM checked, the one in my moms vette is getting ready to take a dump, the abs, traction control, and other lights randomly come on and do wierd **** all the time. TPM won't set and the key fobs won't hold their code for more than a minute.
