1994 Grand Voyager 3.8 Strange Electrical Issues
My 94 Grand Voyager 3.8 has recently had some strange issues pop up.
1. A/C stopped blowing cool (think the clutch wasn't activating)
2. Radio lost presets
Several days later.
3. Door chimes began sounding quieter than normal then louder
4. Radio would still turn on, but now locked on one station, can't change change station, radio display dead
I replaced the battery a few months ago. Didn't have any issues with that. Battery contacts look good. Checked all the fuses I could see under the steering column and on the driver's side under the hood.
I'm really pretty clueless about what is going on and would love some help.

Hi, as several systems are affected my first thought would be to check the earth/ground cables and connection from the battery. Follow them back, there maybe several so you'll need to follow each one. Remove and clean, also check the condition of the cable(s) as it enters the terminal. If its corroded then that could be your problem.
Also, carefully try grounding the body of the radio directly to the battery (-) with a long piece of cable. and see if that fixes the issue with the radio! if it does then you're probably looking at a ground issue. However, if its not on the battery cables then I fear you're gonna be looking under the dash.
