Default PLEASE HELP!! 2004 Electrical problems

My 04 is having some major problems. First the wipers completly stopped working. Then the radio/temp contol units light stopped working (they were always on making it almost impossible to see anything day or night). Also the rear lights do not work and its not the bulb. These problems are driving me crazy and I love this car but i cannot afford to have the dealership fix it. Please helpwill be the onlywayfor me.

on the radio unit contact honda of america, it's a known fault and they may cover it as good will... Sounds like you have a fuse or two that went out make sure you check those first then let us know what you find

The lights that are not working arethe rear interior lights and it's not the bulb. I asked a very knowledgeable friend at a local auto parts store about the wipers and he said that the motors are to new to go out, and it is more likely the relay(the part that controls the speed and delay functions), which is very hard to get to. I was hoping I could get into contact with someone here who might have "been there, done that". As far as the radio is concerned I went onto honda of america's website and could not find any contact info.
