There might be a black box involved in the wiper control and perhaps a relay but without a circuit diagram it would be difficult to point a finger at a possible culprit or decide where to begin checking.
Considering your comment about the noisy motor, if it is accessible it would be fairly simple to check if it has a supply and a ground path and even to check the motor and that would be a good place to begin.

Can a cell phone app make a car not start miles away
I would consider it unlikely unless there is a connection from the blue tooth unit receiver in the car and the ECM unit . Some vehicles can be traced by this connection of the audio telecommunications units installed but it would take a dedicated person to set such a control in position. It has been long considered a wish from law enforcement agencies to be able to turn off the ignition of pursued vehicles but as yet technology has not reached that stage of secure operations.
When the fuel light comes
30 or so,but the light should say"fuel pump overheating" since the fuel cools the pump. It's hard on the pump to run it low.

If starter is staying on "all the time" - your solenoid is bad. Solenoid controls power to starter. Try another solenoid and if problem continues you have a bad ignition switch.

How do I replace the headlights in my 1985 Lincoln
To replace the headlights, you must first remove the trim ring around the headlight. There should be three or four screws holding it in place. Once the trim ring is removed, there will be four screws, two at the top and two on the bottom. Carefully remove screws and remove the retaining ring. Gently pull bulb out, unplug the wire connector. With new bulb in hand, carefully connect the wiring to back of bulb and carefully set in place. While holding the bulb in place, set retaining ring back in place over bulb and insert screws. Then replace the trim ring, tighten the screws and you are done.
Engine Won't Stay Running
I have never seen one outside the distributor. Yeah that changes things that you can keep it running applying gas. So
Have you checked the air filter? A plugged filter will do this as well as a partialy plugged fuel filter. Take the air filter out and knock it against some thing to get the extra crud off it, You should be able to point it at the sun or a light sorce and light should be trying to filter through. If if is dark then replce it, You can try to start it with the filter out for a few minutes but some engines are controlled by the vucuum and it may not work well unless the filter is in it. Just try it and see if it helps. Remember I am trying to give you standard things to trouble shoot that is basic for all vehicles so know that I am unfamiliar with your engine type. Just trying to get lucky here.
Does yours have fuel injection or caburetor type? Either/Or, there should be a screw there someplace that you can adjust the idle to higher rpms to get you by until you can locate the problem. You can also take the fuel pump off and blow through it with a paper towel in your hand to catch the junk and crud. Remeber to note which way it came off. It needs to go back the same way. Some you can only put on one way. If it looks like a lot came out the consider replacing it but try it again first to see how it runs now. Of course in little or nothing came out just replace it.
I also might consider a ful tune up. Spark plugs, and rotor and cap.
Let me know if any of these things did the trick but to be honest, I don't know where else to help you after this with out being there and seeing for myself. I would rather you left no thumbs at all if i was no help or a thumbs up for trying. I still need to keep my score up. Thanks and keep me informed, Raz
