Default Time to take it to the dealer???

So now im on my 100th electrical problem being the windsheild wipers not working. It seems that everytime I get in the car something else wrong happens. Should I just suck it up and take it in or is there an altrenative. Also is the deal gonna give me crap about the leaky OR H pipe?

They shouldn't have a reason to say anything about the exhaust since it has nothing directly to do with why the wipers aren't working and its not under any warranty is it? I would bring to them and see what they cando, I never had that problem did you checkfuses and all that which could be a possible suspect?

Honestly I havent looked at that fuse yet but if its like everything else then the fuse is fine. This is what else has gone in the past two weeks with the last couple happening over the weekend:
1. The sub
2. The bass in the radio
3. Back up lights
4. The radio fried(some smartass)
5. The gas guage(prob fuel pump)
6. The auto down window feature
7. wipers

I think I have a big problem

There has to be a main source for all these problems that would be my guess check the fuses in both the engine bay and underdash.....its unlikely all those things would go wrong from a diff reason.

i got a 99 to, so weve been around the block more usually. sooo they all could be related, or they all might not. check for voltage at ur wiper motor itself... if u got the tools that is

ok well I checked every fuse that is attached to the car and they are all in tact. I am so freaking lost.Im afraid something vital is gonna go soon.

the moral of the story is I dont know squat about electrical so I guess its my only option.

About the radio and wipers I had my radio(stock) just stop working and I thought it was just fried then one morning it was raining and I could not get the wipers to work and thought I had check all of the fuses. So, after taking my cowl off and cracking it in the process, I jumped the wiper motor and it worked, so thinking it was the switch I took it the dealer and they told me it was going to be 2 hrs before they got to it along with a $89.95 fee to find the problem I took it to a local mechanic and in 20 min and $20 they had the wipers working and said it was a fuse. I got in the car to leave and noticed that the radio now was working so apparently there is a fuse that control both of them.
