Losing the presets on the radio and losing the clock would mean loss of power from the battery. If it was a faulty ignition switch, then the clock and radio should still have everything saved.

I would start with the simple stuff first. Disconnect the battery. Disconnect all ends of both battery cables. Clean all the eyelets, bolts, and mating surfaces with a wire brush or sand paper. Clean the battery posts as well.

Inspect the battery cable for signs of wear or corrosion.

After you try this, stop by an autoparts store and have them test the battery and alternator. While you are there, you might as well have them scan for codes.
