It sounds like you might be dealing with an electrical issue, possibly a loose or corroded wire or a faulty fuse. Start by checking the fuses related to the A/C and radio system. If they're fine, you might need to inspect the wiring. If you're not comfortable doing this yourself, I'd recommend taking your car to a professional mechanic. Please keep us updated on your progress. Do you have any other questions?
Thank you for your advice. We checked the fuses and cables first... We also tried replacing the IPC board, but no change.

Inspect the ground connections for the A/C and radio systems, as a poor ground can cause intermittent issues. Ensure all connections are clean and secure. If the problem persists, it might be worth checking the body control module (BCM) for faults. Let us know how it goes or if you have further questions.
