I often see posts with recommendations to check the batteries first when this type of issue happens. Another source that can cause similar symptoms is water intrusion into some of the connectors under the bed, at the rear of the truck.

Shooting from the hip, sounds like water intrusion in underhood fusebox. There is a TSB out for it relating to the cover not sealing and water getting in, causing all kinds of crazy mayhem.
Try this video, worth a look.

Except that the TSB only applies to 2020-2021(for some reason).

I would start by checking all the harness connectors around the spare tire..Use electric cleaner and add dielectric grease to all connectors.. corrosion / moisture is possible.

Then I would check batteries, One or both could have issues..or just replace them.

check engine compartment for possible rodent damage

Good luck and report back

My mistake, overlooked that. Guess that's what I get for shooting from the hip LOL. I had just watched that video recently and it seemed to fit the bill.

Honestly I'm not sure why only those years, I think the 17-19 have that part in the same or similar place. Maybe its a factory installation error on the 20+.
He's not one for words in the comments, but someone asked if that could happen on their 19, his response was no, only 20. 🤷🏻‍♂️
