Since I owned the car there were various problems related to electrical shorts, wires being burned up and electric motors dying.
The windshield wiper switch burned up in the column. Instead of the 400 it would've cost me to get the column dropped just to replace the switch I spent 140 for a toggle that bypasses the column. It was very difficult for me before I could get it replaced because of the amount of rain that goes on here.
The fan motor was fried and I had that replaced when I had the toggle put in.
A few other shorts helped to burn out the alternator after my father(who had purchased it from me) left it sitting for a few weeks.
Most other electronics worked with no problems.
