Take it to auto parts store have them check your battery connections also have them do a test to see if the battery voltage is ok or being loaded down.
as going over a bump etc can make the components work ther eis obviously a loose connection , have you had any work done to vehicle in the dash area ,electrical or otherwise ? if not this will probably be a time consuming fix as will have to trace wiring from window switch back to dash and radio as well they probably have a common connector in there somewhere keep me posted if you wish
Might be a loose battery cable. Just a thought. did see other post where you stated that you've disconnected battery several times. Hope you find/found a solution.
Believe it or not this problem can be caused by the neutral safety switch being defective under the hood on the transmission, There also was a recall for the light problem. Contact your local Ford dealers service dept for details on this recall.
once i faced same situation on my old skoda pickup. radio contacts at back was loose. i replaced the frame which holds radio on its contacts. but if radio is a fixed model like all new dash units, you may need to check socket at back for its contacts and wires and you may need to check fuse on radio itself.
once you get the wiring fixed-either secure the wires in a position where they won't be rubbing against any sharp edges with zip ties or wrap them with protective wrap
weird one this ,i would go for the earth wire on the back of the dash ,and run a seperate one ,or take it back to where you bought it and ask nicely if the vehicle is under warrenty first then hit them with the problem
I suspect the problem is with one of the radio circuit boards, but check the connector at the bqack of the radio first, if that is clean and tight then the radio will need to be sent out for repair.
