What the hell is going on ?!?!?!?!
Ok I have three problems that are really sucking big!!!!!
First my blinker/highbeam/wiper wand. I can't get my high beams on by pushing the wand forward anymore. It sometimes comes on when I have it pushed fwd, and push up and engage the right turn signal. So I'm left to have to hold it backward with my hand to get it to give me high beam.
My left headlight is damaged where it screws it right behind the fender. Maybe that's why, I don't know. But my guess is that it's coming from the wand itself. Any idea what is wrong and how to fix it?
Now, my rear sunshade stopped working. I was messing w/ the center console while hardwiring some stuff (nothing electrical done to it however) and I had my subs and amps installed at the same time. Now I can't get the rear shade up. I get nothing. I checked all the fuses and all is well. What gives?
Finally, my right front pass. window is acting up. When doing one touch up, it goes up then goes down almost half way by itself I tried numerous times to resync the window and it works for a little bit then acts up again.
Help me please

Another reason for this is the computer may have been corrupted when u were doing the ssytem and hence needs to be reset. When I had my battery disconnected to change the steering wheel, my window did exactly what your's is doing and it may also be the reason for your other problems - did the DAS thing and it worked fine again...good luck!

1 Sounds like the Turn Signal / Wiper/High Beam switch is bad..contacts for the High Beam switch.. Seen several do this
2 The (SHOP) that Hacked your car should look into this..
See if the switch is plugged in and check the switch with a Ohm meter..
3 Check the window channel (FELT)for wear in the felt..or any other object that will cause the window to bind ... Seen several do this..

Damn Doc,when it rains it pours.Sounds like Mark came across these issues,and we all may need to see them again.Dave,the batt. doesnt get disconnected for the wheel job,must have been BMT(before my time) 
.Just put the keys in your pocket.
I had the window thing briefly(r/r) once,and it was felt related,like a piece of towel string.It corrected itself thereafter.
Good luck man.
