    So, multiple electrical failures. First steps would be for you to check all battery connections and engine-to-frame ground connection. Clean and tighten as necessary. Also check serpentine belt tension.

    Then if that doesn't cure anything, you should have the battery load-tested and the alternator output checked.

    If those are ok, then I'd have the car scanned for trouble codes. There are a lot of possibilities here.
