Default AC Stopped

I have a 96 Dodge Dakota. On my way to work this morning, my radio started to cut out. My radio isn't set solid into the dash so I am able to move it slightly and it'd come back on. It did the same on the way home except one time the AC stopped working. It still blows a little bit and the air is cool. But nothing changes when I turn it up. It does turn to heat when I change it to heat. I checked the fuse and it is fine. I don't know if what if it is related or a coincidence that the AC stopped when it did. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I will bet they're unrelated, but they may both be bad grounds.

For fan speed problems, the USUAL suspect is the blower motor resistor pack and the connector for it - both under the hood, passenger side. Look for that melted piece of plastic *grins*

For the radio, I'd fix that ground wire - either loose at the back of the radio, or loose at the frame. I'd bet the radio, but check both.
