Electrical gremlins
I can't imagine how all of these might be connected, but recently I have a rash of weird issues.
1. back up camera stopped working
2. beer window will open, but will not close
3. whenever I open and close the left passenger door, I get a warning that the door is ajar
Any chance they are related? Where should I start?

I wish I had a beer window. What option package included that?
The 3 would seem unrelated.
1. no idea, what are the symptoms, how does it not work?
2. slider window I imagine? The switch might be bad, or a relay that causes forward and reverse polarity to drive or retract the window.
3. Super common, laced the bejesus out of the door latch in the door with a penetrating oil like pb, wd, free, etc. spray it all angles up into the latch in the door. There is a switch in there that gets stuck, you need it to free up, so spray the snot out of the latch and close the door multiple times to try and rattle it unstuck. Latch works great, but that switch is just stuck in the door open position.

Back-up camera doesn't come on. Sometimes it does, for a minute, then blacks out.
Any idea where the relay is for the sliding rear beer window?
I'll try that with the door, thanks for the advice.

Thanks. Yes, around here, we call the sliding rear window a "beer window."

Backup camera working intermittently makes me feel like it may be the camera itself, as i had a similar issue with an aftermarket camera that would work sometimes but cut in and out also, replaced it and it was fine. But i can’t say for sure..hopefully any of this info helps

I had camera problems with my 2015. Turned out that the cable was bad, cable inside tailgate to camera. I replaced that cable and my problem was cured. I recommend buying a cable from Ford as a cheaper one from Amazon did not work. My sliding window stopped working, fuses was good and I could "hear" the motor trying to operate. Disassembled the motor and found it full of water, rust. Cleaned it our, exercised for slider cables, greased everything and put it back together. Not sure how it got water in it, maybe from prior owner. I may sure to operate it so I know its not getting rusted again.
Good Luck,
RG
