Default Crazy Electrical Problem! Please Help!!

Ok, this might be a little long so please bare with me. I have a 2000 trans am ls1. about a month ago we had a very rainey humid night here in ohio and i was driving the car with the A/C on. when i got to my destination and tried to turn the lights off, both of the headlights would not flip down. they were not responding at all (except the lights turning off). i thought maybe the rain got something wet under the hood or since i was running the air conditioner, maybe the condensation was dripping on a wiring harness shorting something out. i know that these cars are also famous for headlight motors taking a ****. Anyways, after the car dried up everything worked fine. so i figured i would wait and see if it keeps doing it. A month passed and no problems. well about three days ago all sorts of things started to happen all at once! Ok here it goes...everytime i press unlock on my factory key fob the headlights flip up and both motors start to do a steady click click click etc... the windshield wipers barely move and get stuck half way, my traction control light is on and the button wont work, and the abs light is on. The headlights wont respond to the switch on the dash. The steady clicking causes the headlights to slowely lower and they keep clicking even after they completely close. So if any of you out there know anything that might cause this please help!! Thanks!
