What should I do if the wiper motor runs but the wipers don’t move?

I retired last year and was thinking about becoming a snowbird. The winters here in New York are so cold, and my grandchildren live in Florida. I am unsure what to do about my home when I’m gone. Can I shut off the power and heat in the winter to save money?

I had a gallon of water in the trunk of my car and at some point during my drive it spilled out into my trunk. Now the carpeting in my trunk is absolutely soaked. How can I dry out wet car carpet?

I’m a bit of an audiophile and I recently put an aftermarket sound system in my car to indulge my love of music. But now that I’ve installed the speakers, I hear static and crackling when I turn on the stereo and between songs. How can I prevent static noise from coming from my car speakers?
