Default 97 3.8 V6 Interior and starter electrical issues

Hi Camaro Forums, this is my fist post here. I have a 97 with a radio and aftermarket speakers. I myself did the wiring and it worked for 2 months. Now the radio does not want to turn on. I attempted to put the old stock radio in and that did not work either. A week later, my electrical Odometer read out is not working. The red backlight comes on, but no numbers. In addition to that, the car now has a problem starting. The guages and dash lights come on, the fuel pump hums, but sometimes the car will not crank. I know it is not the VATS, as the security light is not on. I have a new key, so the chip is good. I am not sure what the issue is. Also, the power windows do not work in the car. I have tried to add some solder onto the back part of the BCM. That did not fix or cause any issues. Please help! Thank you for the response.

a good start would be to check and clean all the wire ends on your power and ground terminals. they are on the passenger side wheel well under the hood. power is the red plastic one the ground is close to it. next start checking your ground wires, there are several.
