that's what i was going to look at first. The guy that had it before did a real good job of jerry rigging some things, one of which being the radio. I'll probably end up taking a look at it tonight.

I also noticed that when the radio/wipers don't work, the lights won't pop up. ...I'm thinking that the ignition coil could be a good possibility, but i'll have to do a little more work to see whats up

Thanks for all your help so far!
