Thanks to all for the great help!!! Wow, what a great family we have!!
My wife's 1995 glt 850 wagon starting acting up yesterday:
1. Doors would lock themselves when started
2. Gas gauge showed erratic fuel level
3. wipers are not working (but the headlight wiper is......)
4. Radio went DOA (its working again)

Is it the Ignition switch that could do that? I've heard it can bring a lot of wierd stuff when it's going bad.... it just started raining...no wipers...HELP!!

Sounds like it could be the electrical portion of the ignition switch. You may also want to check all of your fuses. I've heard that loose/faulty battery connections can cause all sorts of strange problems.
