I have found that when an alarm. goes off like you discribed it is usaly dirty or loose battery cables. So the fix is usually backing soda and water soak the cables I that and when you put the cables back on the battery make sure they are good and tight so tight you can't wiggle them

If you have a cable operated clutch then replace the cable as it is binding up inside the case. If you have a hydraulic clutch system the replace the clutch slave cylinder and master cylinder as there is a problem with the rubbers in the units that have expanded from contaminants and are seizing up in the cylinders.

Dave, Nuetral Saftey switch will not make the accessories not work. Sounds like a loose or corroded, battery cable.. Check that first.. If the cables are tight and clean.. Check the condition of the battery.. Sams club or Costco will check it for you for free.. Possibly the auto parts stores will too.

Use Google & TYPE: OBD & your code Example OBD PO301 Keep in mind that while codes have names related to vehicle systems & the sensors themselves,the codes do not mean you change parts,mainly the sensors About 70% of the time, a sensor will have failed & needs to be replaced First you get the codes Then google them to find out what SYSTEM has a FAULT Then you have to learn about the sensor,how it works & how to test it That is called component testing You only replace parts that fail a test,so you need a volt meter, usually a professional scan tool & other test equipment, to work on vehicles & 50% of the time, a wiring diagram If the sensors are good,then you have to check/test the wiring If that is good, then you have mechanical problems that are more serious Most all sensors get their signals from moving mechanical parts You can as you do,have several codes & some are not explainable or related to the main vehicle driveabiltiy issue

TO REMOVE THE A/C COMPRESSOR YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE SOMEONE EVACUATE THE SYSTEM OF FREON AS TO NOT POLLUTE THE AIR, THE UNPLUG AND UNBOLT THE OLD AND INSTALL THE NEW. RETURN TO WHERE YOU HAVE THE FREON REMOVED AND HAVE THEM VAC THE SYSTEM AND RECHARGE OR JUST VAC THE SYSTEM AND YOU PUT YOUR OWN FREON IN THERE.
