Default Electrical problems

Fill up at station,pull away, and head lights pop up, lights on. switch will not control.
Start engine, driver side door open, A/C running, close door, A/C turns off. Must re start A/C.
Is a grounding problem, where do I start looking???

C5’s are prone to electrical problems. Battery is a good place to start. Did you check codes to see if something may pop up there that will give you a start?
