connect your harness properly, stop twisting wires and electrical taping.

Why are you jumping to conclusions?

Faulty BCM power or ground is a common problem that would cause this...

LS1_FREAK: Do your power windows work when your radio shuts off as well? Why did you replace the fuses?? -were they blown?

If the radio and power windows don't work, sounds like a BCM issue (either the BCM itself, or the wiring for it)
