You will never fix wiring problems without a multimeter. If unplugging wipers lets your car run, your wiring is well and truly jacked. Meters cost $10 from China. This thread is silly until you get one and figure out how to measure voltage and continuity.

How will a voltmeter tell me where my problem is its obviously not my battery. So how would that help...I need to figure out what's wrong with the wiring not find out if my batterys jacked..
LOL@Faith
A voltmeter can do many things including measuring battery voltage, finding continuity in wires, or telling you if current is flowing to a specific point.
My guess, a bad voltage regulator. The car runs until you draw current away by lighting up brake lights etc. If the motor mount that was installed by welding something in place it is possible that the current from the welder fried something.
