I'm dealing with a similar issue right now. This seems to be common enough that there should be a technical service bulletin or something but there isn't. I don't have the solution yet, either.
I purchased Alldatadiy for the year and was able to find a ground distribution map to see if I can find a commonality between the fuel pump, power windows, and power seats. They all go at the same time. My first suspect was a ground in the driver side kick panel. That turned out to be a dead end. I was able to disconnect it while the engine was running and the engine didn't die. The next suspect ground is a wire that attaches to the block near the oil pressure sending unit. I plan to take a look at this one tomorrow.
Some other symptoms that my vehicle has that may or may not have something to do with the problem: Oil level light goes on when oil level is fine. Periodicaly get transmission code P1870 which indicates that the transmission is slipping. A bad ground could lead to a false sensor reading being misinterpeted by the computer. Fuel gauge is not accurate. The tank is nearly empty when the gauge is reading 1/4 tank.
