I blew the RAP (Retained Accessory Power) module on my car while trying to install the window fix and lost both my radio and power windows. While looking for a fix i discovered a few threads talking about your issue (intermittant cutting out of both) on newer model cars. 96+ cars have a BCM aka Body Control Module and there is a circuit in there that the solder joint goes bad and you have to open up the box and resolder the connection. i don't remember where the picture of the circuit was but try searching for it.
searching isn't helping. does anyone else have info on the body control module!? location, picture and what exactly needs to be checked? Never mind!!!

I went to solder my bcm today and i had a hard time. Getting it out was easy but soldering the little points was difficult partly because i didnt have real tiny solder. I would suggest getting the smallest solder you can get at radioshack or somewhere.
