Have you checked the battery condition, as a duff battery can exhibit many spurious issues. A good battery should read 12.6v with the engine off.

If you have used the car recently, leave the headlights on for 2 minutes to remove any residual charge.

If below 12.4v, needs a charge, and if below 12.2v, probably duff.

In all cases below 12.6v, try charging the battery first, and if will not hold 12.6v, replace.

Also, may wish to check charging circuit.
