Just to add to this one have the body control module scanned for codes sounds like a bad body control module.I have replaced a lot of them for those symptoms.Do the door locks cycle on and off while driving down the road?When the body control module goes bad the bcm never sets codes.you may have set a U1000 code in the ecm though.
