Electrical problems

[OrangeCrush5.0]

My 2016 GT has about 42k miles on it now, since coming out of warranty I have been having one issue after another. I will only list some of the electrical ones, they don't seem related but hopefully someone can help. So first, I have an issue where my rearview camera keeps turning on and off while I'm driving. Then, I have an issue with the touch screen where everything works, but it won't let you turn on the radio sometimes. All phone functions work, I can control heat settings on screen, I just can't access the radio. Then I have an issue where half the time my cruise control won't work. Now the most annoying thing, if I unlock my doors from inside the car, the trunk latch goes crazy and keeps popping the trunk nonstop. I haven't figured out how to make it stop but it just stops on its own.

Do you think this is all related? I can live with all of the issues except the trunk popping. I tried searching and haven't seen anyone else with this issue. Where should I start? Any help is greatly appreciated.

It's possible it's all related. You should have the body control module or better yet the whole system scanned for codes. Has this car been in an accident, had water intrusion, work or had issues where the right kick panel area was involved. That's where the BCM is located. I would pull the kick panel cover off and look for signs of water damage, loose connectors, fuses and relays. Just get in there and wiggle/push on all the parts attached to the module. Then see if symptoms are still there. If lifting the floor carpet is wet but not from shoes I'd say you have a leak issue.

Check for damaged wires in the wire bundle that goes to the trunk lid. Been reports of damage there because of the gyrations and flexing the wire bundle goes through when the trunk lid is opened and closed. You can see the wire bundle on the RH side near the hinge when the truck lid is opened.
