The Integrated Power Module (IPM) is a known corrosion magnet. It's your fuse box. Try a wiggle check on it and see if anything comes alive. Disconnect the connections and inspect for any signs of corrosion. Disconnect the negative battery cable first. Clean with electrical contact cleaner.

Is the ignition switch returning completely back to the run position when you let go after starting? If not, it may be cutting power to those effected systems.
