Electrical problems 2005 Expedition

I've got several problems in my Expedition. The automatic headlights will not work. Automatic door locks won't work. Interior lights only work on front doors. Rear hatch window won't open. I've read a couple posts in different forums that lean towards replacing the VSM. I also saw that unhooking the battery for 45 mins has solved problems and unhooking the battery and touching the terminal wires together will also solve the problem. Going to try both of these today. I'll let ya'll know if it works. If anybody has any other ideas, feel free to share. I've tried looking up the VSM at fordparts.com but I couldn't find it. Does anybody know where I could buy this module if necessary?

Disconnecting the battery 45 mins or more didn't work. Neither did touching the terminals together. Any input would be appreciated.
