Default 1995 Grand Cherokee Electrical Problems

My 1995 Grand Cherokee LTD with 225k miles runs great and has no engine or transmission issues. However, recently I have had several mysterious electrical problems:
* Console lights with date and time blink on and off and must be re-set with each start up.
* Overhead console with compass reads "OC 4"
* Heater won't come on and AC runs continually.
* Auto door locks don't work.
* Radio won't work
* Inside lights don't come on when door open
* Once the engine started but immediately stopped as if the fuel pump wasn't working.

I recently was unable to start the Jeep (no response from turning key) but after jiggling the battery around, it started.

I read a post a month ago where one of the members suggested disconnecting the positive battery terminal for a few minutes. I did this and now everything works! A miracle indeed and thanks for the advice.

Does anyone know of the root cause of this issue?

Check the AOD fuses, they're the ones with the yellow thing around them.
