FEM (Front module) Issues?
 

Hello, my 2003 Windstar randomly stops the lights, radio, windows, wipers. And sometimes just the intermittent wiper portion, later everything. First it blinks off a few seconds, then off for a few minutes. Then it's OK for hours or days. I think it is the front elec module because it controls all that, but I'm wondering if it could be the dash solder joints somehow causing it also, which is still an issue that I fix with a pound on the dash when the gages go crazy. Note the gages are always ok when the FEM issue happens. They don't appear connected.
