Need some guidance , forgive me if this goes long. 03 Durango rt, 5.9. so first keep in mind for the last couple years I get a chime go off randomly and the rear wiper swipes on its own. (not all the time just random) on to the problem went out yesterday truck stopped in middle of road. popped hood pulled coil wire snapped back on started , drove 20ft shut off again this time could not get it to start, flat bed home, tried starting after home nothing, pushed truck to front of house after he left and it started ran 20 sec then died, restarted stayed on no issues. this morning no start, scanned said it couldn't find, looked on dash no bus flashed, then out of blue hear the fuel pump prime started no problem. ? also my abs and brake lights on after all this. what's everyone thinking pcm? body control module? does it seem like this is two separate issues? can these even still be replaced..
 
You might have water intrusion issues. Check the top of the engine for water and behind the driver footwell kick panel. Maybe also the passenger kick panel. The water gets into the module connectors and wreaks havoc. This can be caused by a bad cowl wiper panel that was poorly designed. I believe this happens in the Gen 2 models which you are right on the edge of.
 
The rear wioper/chime is classic for a CTM on the way out. If you have water on the floorboard, that is another issue.
Is there a sunroof? I'd take care of the water issue first, and see where that leaves you.

check the connectors/fusebox on the left end of the dash for corrosion from water
I forget if the '03 has another fuse/relay block up above the driver's footwell.
