WHOA....My car is going hey wire need help

O.K..I started my car the other day and it was shaking like crazy....I thought maybe a vacuum hose came loose, but no...the car is not loosing any vacuum..

I though it could be my spark plugs or spark plug wires....but I noticed when I turned on the head lights, All four went on, even though it's on low beam....also my left parking signal is really weak, when I signal the weak driver side head lights flash intermittantly....

What the hell could it be....oh and a great addition, is the windshield wipers aren't working either....as if their not getting enough current, be cause I hear the motor tick.....

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Car: a car being parted out
Engine: blown up
Transmission: in peices
Shaking...
ok, that in itself will lend to mounts going bad. Engine, trans... if moving you can include more...

Running poorly is entirely different, so you need to get a little more detailed...

Electrical devices not working... Bueler? Bueler? try looking at the Volt guage and having the Alt and battery tested...

I am not adding or saying anything else until you get a littl emore info up here...

thanks, for the reply guys....

I found the problem..it was one of the head light ground wires that is near the battery it was broken off.....

It fixed the lighting issue, but I discovered that ny exhaust manifold leaks at the gasket.....do you think that is causing the egine to run a little rough?

cause the car runs ok, but the engine just kinda vibrates a little too much than normal

I'm gonna change all the vacuum hoses, put a new cap and rotor, plug wires and plugs, oil filter, fuel filter and a new canister filter, and see how the car runs after that.
