2 issues

First - my passenger occupancy sensor is extremely sensitive. In the past, my backpack (like 20 lbs) would set it off.
Yesterday, it was beeping furiously at me, and literally the only thing on the seat was my wallet.

Second, my A/C has stopped working. Specifically, the A/C button has no response. It does not light up or command the A/C on. Additionally, the backlighting for the 'mode' dial does not work, but the air recirc and rear defroster buttons work.
I've been messing inside my dash for a while installing a new stereo, but I removed the HVAC panel and did not find any issues.

Should I do electrical troubleshooting? or break out the pressure gauges to see if the system suddenly dropped below threshold pressure?
