Turn signal activated interior light or wiper. Now my jeep doesn’t start.

A few months ago, my Jeep Compass 2008 started flashing the interior light when I used the turn signal. It wasn’t all the time, but it occurred on daily basis. I replaced the turn signal switch, but the issue was still there. In the last couple of weeks, the turn signal started activating the wipers as well. Then I started having issues starting the car, but I tried a few minutes later and I was able to start it. The dashboard started blinking once while driving. I think it has some kind of short circuit, because now the battery is going dead when I don’t use the jeep for a day, I test the battery and the alternator and they are fine. I started checking the wires where the turn signal switch is including the wiper switch and everything looks ok. I am wondering if I need to replace the SCCM (Steering Column Control Module) or the WCM (Wireless control Module) or both. I have the idea that WCM can only be replaced at the dealership since it needs to be programmed. I’m trying to avoid this since it will cost me a small fortune.
Last night, I unplugged the battery, hoping some electronic components will reset and perhaps the issue to be resolved. However, this morning I connected the battery again and I wasn’t able to start my jeep. Do you have any ideas on what should I check? Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.
