Electrical Gremlins ??? 200

I'm having some electrical problems with my 1989 volvo 240.

1. My rear power windows do not work. Neither from the drivers controls or the individual doors.

2. My headlights don't always work. I have to keep turning them off and on. Or start then turn off then restart over and over until the headlights start working.

3. Windshield wipers don't always work.

4. The aftermarket stereo does not always work. Just like the headlights if I start and restart over and over sometimes the stereo will work. Once I turn the key to the first click (assecories) the stereo works. But once I continue to turn the key to the start position the stereo turns off.

5. My trunk no longer opens. Even when I place the lock switch in the open position I can't open the trunk by hand.


I have noticed that if the stereo works while I'm driving so does the headlights and windshield wipers. This car is new to me so I don't know what was done to it before I own it. I bought this car about a month ago. I just recently replaced the rack and pinion, tie rod ends, removed and clean intake manifold, throttle body, flame trap and hoses, oil trap, and new gaskets.

Thanks
