Default No radio display, headlight out, doors won't unlock

First my right headlight started flickering on and off (it's a brand new bulb; also checked the connections), then my radio display went out--not getting any power to it, now my doors will not unlock: horn sounds--when the driver door finally does unlock, engine will not start. Does this sound like an electrical problem? All symptoms have systematically happened days apart. I also live in Seattle and there have been some heavy downpours--maybe something got wet..?

Check the locking module in the trunk, often gets waterlogged.
