After locking my car and leaving it I come back to find it unlocked and the windows down constantly. Now my brake lights wont work on the sides but the top brake light does. Bulbs and fuses are fine. All three lights are connected by wire so they all should be on or off together. Today my battery just up and died. Just wondered if its all related. I have read other people complaining about the same electrical problem with windows and door locks.it happens anywhere anytime overnight or in the pouring rain when im out and about. After the car is parked and locked. The two side brake lights are out all the time the top one lights. The brake light issue just happened 5/2019 the window issue has been a few years 2015

My vehicle headlights will not cut on. Though it is not all the time it does happen a good 80% of the time and more now than ever. When you unlock the lock the lights will flicker. Then when you go to cut the lights on they will flicker on and off until they cut completely off and will not come back on until either the next day or the next couple of days. The lights will not cut on in motion or at a complete stop. This is a serious hazard especially for those who go in and get off work at night. This can cause accident and is definitely considered endangerment.

Low beam headlights do not work most of the time. One or the other might work at random times. Removed horn fuse as the horn would honk at random times for various amounts of time. Can not drive this vehicle safely in the dark.
