Start with trying to pull OBDII codes to look for trouble. Sounds like the A/C might have a pulled plug (hopefully) or a shorted wire (not as good).
The Nav might be missing the disk. Make sure it's inserted. Look and search on the site here for the location and what you should find there - or the owners manual if you have it.

It sounds like there's something wrong with the entire module.
I wouldn't want to throw parts at it without knowing for sure, but my "shoot from the hip" would be to swap out the whole thing with a known good one. I would get something from a reputable salvage yard or Ebay, you could probably pick one up for $500.

I would have a hard time believing all of these functions are separately having failures, I would look at where all the systems are connected, but again, that's just a guess.
