I'm having multiple issues with my car, and they all seem to be related.

> The radio only picks up what it wants to, and usually not very well
> Occasionally the odometer will freak out and not want to display the right mileage, but then later on everything will be all better
> Passlock system keeps tripping. Occassionally I have to sit around for 10 minutes with the key in the on position just to be able to start my car. Occurs more after raining.
> No air, period. Neither A/C, nor heater works, although I do get some semblance of air while the car is moving. Rarely does the A/C decide it wants to kick in, but only for a little bit.
> Recently: My overhead lights won't turn on. The floor lights work, though.

I have a feeling all these problems are interconnected. Any advice?
