Electrical systems going haywire usually stems from one of two things. The alternator / battery / starter trio is giving the electronics bad supply voltage, or there has been water damage to a key component - you mention the CGW.

On the voltage: I suspect - no evidence - that a failing regulator can lead to spiky voltage, possibly enough to fry electronics. This would not show up in ordinary diagnostics, which usually are looking for brush wear, as in low output voltage.

This is a reason to stay on top of the alternator-battery-starter combo. Starter can drag down the battery; failing battery stresses the alternator; voltage regulator or brushes fail, leading to supply voltage irregularity which causes all manner of chaos.

You mentioned in the other thread that fuse 57 blew. This indicates to me that some electrical fault occurred, frying one or more electronic modules.
