Default Here We Go - Fixing Everything

Right now my car is running perfectly, but the little imperfections are starting to bother me... Right Blinker not working, Right Power Window Motor Not Working, Cd Player Amp Blown. Tomorrow I'm ordering a switch for my power window motor, because I don't think the motor is out because when I hit the little white thing with a pen (won't move down, just up) The motor makes a sound like it's working. So I'm ordering the $10 switch to hopefully fix that, I have a power window motor already so if the switch doesn't fix it I'm going to install the motor. I'm also ordering a new Socket for my Blinker and all that, because a new bulb and new flasher didn't do anything. Then I'm ordering a new head unit and 4 new speakers (there goes the money I was saving up for headers.) I'm tired of all the little imperfections so before I mod the car any further I'm going to get everything working.

Figured I would share this and see if anyone had any other suggestions on things that might need replaced if the above solutions don't work.

*Oh yeah, and getting new wipers because the last guy who had it decided he wasn't going to change them, and I never thought of checking, so I turned them on by accident one day and got a nice deep scratch on my windshield... I'm glad I can't remember that guys phone number or I might drive back up to Minnesota and give him a beating, considering he messed up the wiring on the car pretty bad. At least he kept the rest of the car in good condition (Done Bitching Now.)
