Icon2 Wiring issues?

Little by little im getting my hatch in the tip top shape I want it, but when one thing is solved another arises. I've noticed during the winter whenever my rear window would ice up, that my rear defrost doesn't seem to come on when I press the button. Also my right head light seems to be much dimmer then my left and whenever I'm coming to a stop and I hit my brakes they both seems to dim and sometimes my check battery light comes on????
Anyone know how to fix these issues?

does the light on the button come on? have you checked to see if its plugged in? as to the headlight/battery issue. start by checking your grounds, and your battery terminals. im pretty sure its your alternator but dont quote me on that because i did not physically diagnose that myself

well did you check that the connections on ur alternator are tight and not corroded? hows the battery? do you have a ground from your valve cover to the rad support? look at the back window and see if the defroster is plugged in? has the window ever been replaced?

I just went to wash all the pollen off me car and found a wonderful new problem to add to my list. As i was leaving my neighborhood I was coming to the entrance where there is a slight incline at the stop sign. Well as i approached to stop and pushed in my clutch the car just died. As i sat there and re-cranked it a few times and every time i pushed in the clutch all the way it died. So when i came to the nearest light i tired pushing in the clutch all the way to see if it would happen again, but it didn't. I bought the car from a used dealer and it had already had the ZC swapped into it. One thing i notice about the pedals is that they are higher up then they appear they should be... not sure if this is a problem. This is really starting to **** ME OFF
