RESSURECTED!
so yeah im finally getting around to fixing the car, for those that dont know i had a setback of the headlights not working, or well when i turn them on the passengers side is dim and the wipers wont turn off, so thanks to fuzzy i got another mfs to see if that would fix it but it wasnt the problem, so i got a multi meter and im gonna check for shorts and bad grounds soon
other issues i recieved were a low voltage on the iac code, and a clicking noise by the iac, so im planning on picking up a spare from a friendly guy who lives by me who happens to own a sweet hhr ss.
and last but not least the brake noise
im getting a really bad noise when i drive the car and it seems to me that its comming from the brakes, possibly a warped rotor, but it was speculated that it could be a wheel bearing, or axle related issue but theres no vissible damage on the axle, and no rips,tears or fluid anywhere
today my plans are to put new rotors and pads on the car, depepnding on the existing condition of the rotors and pads, and also an oil change which is a little tiny bit overdue for my standards
if im up for it i might run thru the electrical system trying to find this issue, and if i dont get around to it then it will be done monday
also if anyone works at a dealership and can get me some magnum intake manifold bolts(the cheap ones, not the studs) and have them shipped to me thatd be fantastic

EDIT!
ok soooo on seconds closer inspection, my brakes are fine, and i found that the passengers side headlight ground was shorting, so i fixed that, and now my headlight wiper problem is gone, and i figured out the noise im having is my drivers side axle boot is ripped
now i just need to fix the boot

What noise? What happened to me was the boot tore, so to keep the grease in until I got a new axle (I didn't bother with just a boot) I duct taped the shit out of the boot, and it held well enough for a week. It is no substitute for a blown axle...if you have clicking or popping noises and/or vibration, buy an axle.
