1 - check fuses and bulbs.
2 and 3 - change your flasher relay
4 Likely to be a radio/CD issue, not vehicle electrics

I'll try too:
1) brake lamp switch properly adjusted?
2) burned out signal bulb
3) defective switch on column
4) cds' suck, throw the whole thing away, for $75 you can buy a cheap head unit that has a USB port

Check the ground under your dash it is just about where your left knee would be while driving normal
