So after a night of some fun canyon driving with some friends I went to pull into a gas station and my windshield wipers went nuts and I couldn't turn them off. They finally stopped right in the middle of my w/s and wouldn't budge after they stopped. After that happened I noticed my headlights wouldn't go up and down after that.
I checked the:
Relays
Wiring

Is there a common fault that happens in a chassis that I don't know about?
Any info would help! Thanks!

Is your car really low?

No super low but I tucked my harness in my wheel well so it wouldn't get rubbed by the tire.

Wouldn't hurt to double check.

There's also that auxiliary fuse/relay box in the left side of the drivers footwell...Apparently a relay solder goes bad, causes all kinds of funny probs...Do a search here ..

x2 for a double check on wiring in the wheel well, maybe it rubbed through at the grommet

You haven't fixed this since October?

Hopefully by 'tucked harness' you meant that you re-routed it over the fenderwell inside the fender- not put it deeper into the wheel well... If not, I'd detach it and check it thoroughly.

Check the right side fuse box etc. May be worth taking your driver's side fender off for a good inspection. Worse case, get in the FSM and figure out what else those two items may have in common. Going crazy then shutting down tells me that something shorted out, then eventually gave out and/or melted. I think it's in your wiring bundles.
