Radio shuts off unexpectedly and power windows won't go up or down usually at the same time. Changed circuit breakers for windows and accesories. No luck. Found water in battery compartment!

could be something with the body control module. you need a shop with a scan tool to monitor the operation of these items to see if they are getting commands to work
