hey there,

i'm not very well versed in auto techie stuff which is why i am posting here.
i have a series of issues that are happening with my car.

1. drivers door handle sticks a little (when i lift it sometimes it doesn't go back into place but hangs there). thus, this sometimes keeps me from being able to open the doors with the power locks. so i have to actually open the window and put the handle down all the way to open the power locks to get out of the car sometimes.

2. the display light on the factory radio that used to come on at night doesn't illuminate that cool blue anymore so i can't see what channel it's on at all at night.

3. one time the hazards and blinkers stopped blinking. and just stayed on if i clicked blinkers or pushed hazards. then it just fixed itself.

4. the right front speaker only works sometimes.

5. the alarm by my foot was unplugged when i bought the car used. i tried plugging it in the other day, and it just makes the alarm go off. so i had to unplug it again.

6. a few days the intermittent wiper setting didn't work at all.

okay, so my question is, are any of these related or does each one require separate attention? and if they are related to some general electrical issue, is it simple to ask to get repaired at once?
oh, and of course are they quick fixes that i can do? not a car mechanic, but fix computers for a living so maybe can try!

oh and p.s. my clutch pedal is making a squeaking noise.

well the door handle isnt electrical.. lol. just take it apart and lube that sucker up.. i have the same problem but im too lazy to fix it. some times lights just burn out... get a new radio. dotn know about number 3 . check your speaker wires. dont use the alarm. or check the wiring because its probably messed up. and just check your wiper wires. i really dont get why you even made this thread without checking this stuff out first. and no these have ntohign at all to do with eachother. just check all the wires. if you dont have any automotive skill.. or common sense take it to a mechanic. you think you have a electrical problem? i have a short circuit somewhere between the corner lights, liecense plate lights, tail lights and cluster lights and the fuse that is for all of those.
