Air conditioner unit started squealing and then all the guages quit working and the car eventually died. everytime I charge the battery the car will run as long as I dont use radio, lights, wipers, or anything else. it dies and I have to charge the battery again

Hi Les, I;m glad to help. There is an fusible link that runs off the battery cable pull on it and see if it comes apart, if it does replace it and see if everything is working properly. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Les.

Sounds like a bad connection somewhere. Maybe the thieves or the repair shop damaged/loosened something. I would start the car and start wiggling/moving wires and connections to try to narrow down where the problem is. Start at the alternator connections, both at the alternator and where the thick wire connects, probably at the power distribution box but it may go straight to the battery; don't recall on that car.

Possible water pump issues

sounds like the alternator has quit charging,,try a jump start and check voltage at the battery after it starts (cables off)
(If it dies after the cables are unhooked ,the alt. is bad.)

I'm betting it has something to do with the shift lock actuator or the harness to the actuator. I'm pretty sure it is located on the top of the steering column on your vehicle. The lower part of the dash will need to be removed and then the steering column lowered in order to gain access to it.

This vehicle does have an airbag and unless you experience with airbag systems I would not recommend tackling this yourself.

unplug the interlock. Replace the fuse. Start the vehicle. with your foot on the brake manually release the interlock with you hand and shift through the gears. If the fuse does not blow your on the right track. If the fuse does blow let me know and I'll get you some more info.

Let me know if you have any questions and thank you for using Fixya.com

Could be a bad alternator diode and it wasn't keeping the battery fully charged, which could be indicated by dimming lights, loss of power, or completely quitting when voltage becomes too low to properly fire plugs.

The squealing could have been a locked up alternator (probably caused by a bad bearing) and the drive belt is slipping on the drive pulley, making the squeal.

Hope this is of some help.

You Over charged the system, And when you do that it quits working, High pressue switch cuts out so you have to remove some and it's meant to get colder outside there is a knob or a slider bar with red and blue to blrnd inside air and out side air to get the desired temprature you want.

change the vent switch.

right size belt ? cheap belt ? have battery tested

Make sure the battery produces enough power...I think minimum cold-start power for this car is 550 amps, although I would recommend more, especially if you added any performance stuff, especially amps, which would draw more power. Also, check your fuses and wiring.
