Question I think my car needs an excorcist

Well this is quite interesting. First, I知 going to deviate off and discuss an earlier event that happened a couple months ago. I was coming home from work, and put on the rear defrost. No sooner did I do that, then my Jensen radio turn itself off. I think to myself "this is interesting", and turn it back on. Immediately after my defrost goes off. I turn my defrost back on, and my radio starts bugging out. It ejected the cd, switched channels, and did a really weird/cool display thing on it's screen. I gave up on the defrost at that point, and turned everything off. Next day everything worked perfectly (after a new fuse, anytime something like this happens, I immediately replace the fuse just so I can eliminate it). Now, for today痴 story. I installed newer seats in my car, complete with power headrest capability. To use this capability, i have run a momentary toggle switch to the motor, and tapped into the cigarette lighter wiring for power. Well, today I hooked up the passenger headrest (after 6 months....). So as I知 testing them out, my windshield wipers begin to go. They only would do one wipe and then stop. It's not every time; I think it does this selectively. And it only does it when i use the power headrests.... I have noticed many times my windshield wipers will jump when the car starts, but normally only when it is really cold out (40's or so, hey, i live in Florida ok?). And my last strange problem for the day, if i press on the brake pedal with my door open, i get a sick cow like sound. And same if I turn on my turn signal with my door open. This car is starting to worry me........
