Default Doors wont lock unless i press window lock button.

Hello okay for like the past month iv been having some really weird stuff going on.
Well i was driving and my cluster back light randomly dimmed and at that same time my Oil Temp gauge shuts off, my heater turns off and my outside temp showed (--F) this happened for about 5 seconds then it all went back on. and it kept doing this like every 10-15 seconds. then my fog light inductor started going on and off and then my fuel light started blinking which it never does.
Also i noticed that the doors wont lock and none of the windows will go down or up except mine.
Then i pressed the Lock Window Button and BAM everything started to work fine. Except that no one can open the windows now cus i locked them.
Okay so i was driving like this for about an hour i disconnected the battery to reset the computer and nothing happened.

A few days later everything started to work again but now its back. not as much happens now like the gauge wont turn off and on and my heater wont turn off and on.
but my doors still wont lock unless i press the lock window button.
Iv taken apart the door didn't find anything unusual. checked all the fuses disconnected all the ECU, and all computers in the car and still nothing.

ohh and last night my alarm went off 3 times in the middle of the night which i kinda know why that happened. Bad actuator.

Somebody please tell me if you know anything that might be going on with this thing.

Have you ever jump started anyone in this car or let someone else jump their car with yours and u weren't watching? I ask cause it sounds like your computer may be all whacked, like they jumped your car and had the terminals switched on accident, other than that man I'm not quite sure, maybe it's time for a trip to the good ol dealer...

Is there some kind of solenoid maybe? I also just found that if I hold my window up button then if I press door lock/unlock button then it actually locks and unlocks.
