Default No Power to Passenger Door & Reduced Power Warning

Last night I went to roll my windows up on my 01 vert, and my passenger side door was dead. Window would not roll up, lock would not work...using either control on either door or the window down/Tano release button (the driver's side worked fine).

I called my father and he looked it up for me and found something about shaking the rubber accordion wire cover while pushing the window buttons. I tried it, it worked, the window went up, and all was happy for the rest of the night...till my roommate came in plastered, woke me up, but that is another story...

Today, the door was out again, but as I was heading off to my folks house, my radio went out, most of my instruments (except for the tach and speedo), and I got a Reduced Engine Power warning. I hooked up my Code Scanner, and there were no codes, I shook the Accordion while the car was running and my instruments came back and radio came back on.

So, now that I am STILL job hunting, and any super major repair will park the car for a while, am I have a Murphy's Law problem and anything that can go wrong with the car is going wrong, OR are all these things linked together by something stupid like crimped wire?
