Default Newbie with weird van issue

Hi all. I tried the search function, but couldn't find the exact problem. We have a 2001 Ram 1500 conversion van. Started having trouble with the turn signals not working on and off..then the radio and the door locks..it seems to be worse when it's cold. Once it warms up they will start working. Also, I hit a speed bump the other day and they started working which leads me to think something is loose. Anyone have any experience with this type of thing and/or any advice as to where to start? I would like to try something on my own first because it sounds expensive to have a mechanic trace it down.

Thanks!

Just inside and under the small panel hood is where the PCM is located. Make sure that the wires and connections are strong. Also look at any of the ground wires to ensure good connection.

Check the negative battery to body ground wire for looseness or corrosion.
