Electronics are dropping like flies!

In the past month alone I've had my radio die, fuel, temp, and volt gauges go out, dome lights stop working, and the sound the truck makes when the lights are on and the truck is off is constantly going any time the lights are on. Plus my anytime my ac is on at a light the truck dies. Any solutions are appreciated!
Update- most recently horn stopped working, and 12 cig lighter isn't getting power either

Sounds like you'd better start checking all ground terminations. Symptoms indicate a loose, or corroded, connection.

Check the grounds and grab a volt meter and check the alternator. If it's not supplying enough juice, things quit working and engine dies.

check battery volts with truck off, should be like 12.5 volts. Next check volts with truck running should be 14.5. At this point you know the alternator is doing its job. My honest guess is you have a ground problem. Take all the grounds apart clean to bare metal and retighten.

I'd had problems with battery going low before and now it gets plugged in every night so I doubt that's the problem

If youve had battery problems that alternater is probably over working could be causing voltage spikes ect ect id start by fixing what you knows wrong
