An intermittent faulty switch or a break in the wiring going through either door accordion
Generally, ghost in the machine type stuff is a master switch issue
Yours could be either switch being faulty
Some people successfully disassemble and clean their switches
I fine them cheap and easy to replace although I do clean BMW ones and Mercedes
Next time it quits, pull the panels and do some voltage testing with your test light
A EVTM explains the circuit and has a few troubleshooting tips
