Hey guys, I might need a hand here. While on my communte, my wipers activated while set to off. They eventually would stop, then restart at odd intervals. Restarted the car a few times, which didn't work. This continued hours later on my ride home. When I garaged my car, my headlights which would normally stay lit for a few mins, turned off seconds after I took the key out. I was able to recreate this twice. Then, once in my house, the car's alarm activates. What could be happening??

Any mods that involved any kind of electrical rewiring or changes may have interrupted a ground somewhere?

No mods other than listed in sig. There has been lots of rain and flooding here. Thursday I drove through quite a few flooded roads, but haven't had a problem until today.

Copper connectors and plugs that carry current that get wet can begin to corrode after a few days.
What got wet? Did water reach the passenger compartment?

Nothing to my knowledge got wet in the compartment, but the puddles were a foot high.

Is there anything under the hood I should check?
