Hi:
It sounds like you have a bad body control module (BCM). When you disconnect the battery, you are reseting it. You will need to have it checked by a mechanic that has the proper test equipment.

Let me know if this helps.

Then ,there has to be a ground probem causing this. That many things don't stop working at the same time. Check the grounds to the engine block, body... Something is loosing connection. Also, under the hood there is a power distribution box. Make sure the plugs are all tight.

Let me know what you find.
