Random symbols on message center 03 expedition

[Germangsone]

I have an 03 expedition Eddie Bauer edition and I been having problems with the message center display sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, I have noticed that when it's not working a few things on my SUV stop working like back up aid, third row power seats, radio don't turn off when opening door, interior lights, also it shows some random symbols before it stops working. I had removed the panel and got to the connector behind the message center and check the wires but they look ok only that when I wiggle the connector message center seems to come back on.
Any help will be appreciated

I believe it has a language selection...u may have to disconnect the batter for a while and reconnect and select english

Language is set to english, I tried disconnect the battery for a few hours but did not fix message center problem

Looks like music notes. Is this a possible symptom of a wet GEM?

the 03 DOES NOT have a GEM

Condition
The message center is not operating correctly

Possible Sources
Instrument cluster.
Message center switch.
Circuitry.

When you wiggle the message center what are you wiggling? The harness or the message center itself?

I wiggle the harness and the display on the message center comes back on but why is it that when the message center stops working all the other components stop functioning?

Where can I find the message center switch? I read on another thread about a violet wire that goes to the back of the cluster, they say it can have corrosion on the terminals but I didn't find it
