I can't comment too much on the electrical issues but here's what I can think of.

Maybe your horn is broken internally and maybe shorting out? Try just directly wiring it to the battery to see if it'll honk?(or maybe someone will tell me that's a bad idea)

There is no problem running Amsoil in your car. I'd just hope that your seals are good and you aren't burning any noticeable amount of oil because it may get expensive. But then, using the Amsoil for a few oil changes might reduce oil consumption if there is any. Go for it.

The wipers don't work? Have they ever worked? Have you checked the wiring out? And sometimes the wiper motors fail, so that could be it as well.

Good luck!
