go on with the headlights.

------No - it can't do miracles. Electronics will not fix mechanical 
problems. You probably have a half-melted solenoid and/or some 
mechanical issues.

------Window regulator. Let go of the button before it makes the 
noise. There are no limit switches on this car. Put a couple hundred 
bucks in the budget for a new regulator eventually.

------ The engine cover and trunk cover are supposed to be latched, 
when you pull the releases they should "pop" open slightly. You may 
need adjustments and/or new springs. The louvers are supposed to 
latch to the engine cover and release when you pull the lever 
underneath.
