A very strange thing happened. We just experienced a bad ice storm - if this has anything relevance. After not having driven the car for 3 days (which by the way is not out of the ordinary) I hop in the car - it is parked out doors - and try the signals and wipers and none work! We pulled all the fuses which looked fine and put them all back and miraculously everything was fine. However, later I now find the driver side's headlight is now not working. I hear normally that it just needs the blub replaced but gee-whiz why is everything suddenly going on this car? And since the manual is not available what would I need to fix this?

Two other problems have cropped up but I have been living with them. 1 - There is a high pitch whine coming from the front of the vehicle after going over 30 MPH and also goes away in extreme cold. It sounds like a moaning Halloween Ghost. I would like to know what this is so I can then figure out how to fix it. 2- I am now hearing a rumble towards the back right (passenger side) of the vehicle (at any speed) and fear it is the muffler. It has not gotten any louder.

Bulb replacement: Remove two headlight holding screws with T-25 screwdriver. Pull entire headlight assembly out of the vehicle. Remove electrical connector. Remove headlight lock ring. Remove headlight 9007 bulb.

Rumble from rear: Check the muffler hangers, metal and rubber. Make sure that they are not broken or touching any part of the vehicle. Also check the heat shield on the muffler and the resonator (under the car)

High pitch whine: I can't determine as to what it is as I can't hear it. Does this noise only occur after 30 mph, or all the time. Does it change pitch with rpm change or is it constant?
