sounds like the car needs alot of work.. for the lighting issue either your alternator is dead or dieing or you have bad grounds. for the wipers that sounds like you need a new switch. for the water leaking in. for the water issue it sounds like your heater core might have a hole in it

If the alt was dying all of your warning lights would come on at once and stay on. I would suggest that the headlight itself needs to be replaced. Go grab a new one for $10 and see if that does it. If it doesn't, you now have a spare for when one does go out.


Our wiper switches love to not quite work properly. Icemark rebuilds them.

Or you can take it to a local electronics repair shop and see if they are able to repair it.


I agree that your heater core is leaking. Only way to fix that is to replace the whole unit, and the only way to do that is to remove the entire dashboard, which will be a major pain in the *** if you haven't done it before.


Car dying - first I'd say check your clamps at the battery and the nuts on the starter solenoid and make sure they're both clean and tight...
