Have you checked for the infamous water leak? This tends to cause the elctrical connections at the SJB to corrode causing all kinds of electrical gremlins. Check the carpet on the passenger side by the kick panel, especially behind the kick panel (pull the access door). Blot the carpet with a tissue or something since sometimes your fingers have trouble distinguishing between cool and wet.

For the water leak TSB, check the sticky in the 2005-2010 main forum.
