So, went to pick up my car from a detail shop today and when I went to start it just clicked so I thought dead battery had extra one in car put it in and started up but I noticed three things. One being that my auto head lights don't work. Two my low beams wont work unless my high beams are and third my Blower controls only work on high and seem to stay in defrost...Whats wrongs with it?

vacuum line for the defrost issue....
resistor for the blower

Sounds like they got overzealous with cleaning the engine bay. With some luck it'll clear up. Worst case, you have a lot of toasted electrical connectors to deal with. Might as well start with the blower resistor and see what kind of condition its in, and how the connector has fared.

take all the connections off the starter relay, clean them, and put them back on. Clean the battery cables too. See if that fixes anything. Most likely something got wet though. If thats the case, most of the time just driving around will cook it dry.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

unless it's an OLD charger... it should sense if the connections are not correct. The charger I have does that. It's only 6 months old though.
