The one thing in common here is the earth to the clocks.
I would start there.

It would not start with flat battery, but no harm checking battery voltage anyway, should be at least 12.8/13.2 idling with no load.

I have had this too recently, it was the fuse. I think its no. 22, red 15 A all the way down at the first row. And there is no picture in the fuse lid what this fuse does. Try it.
