It sounds like the ground lead in the car has gone bad. There is no other circuit that effects all of those systems combined. Check to see if the secondary ground is WELL attached. The reason I say negative ground is because the AC / heater system is not routed through the main harness. It is totally manual and has a VERY simple circuit. Using my ZX2 for Rally, I know that we had a lot of issue very similar because the battery terminals get jostled so much that the terminals would actually loosen over time.
