Default possible electrical ground problem?

i am having a few electrical issues.. first, my front right parking and turn signal (same bulb) are not working along with one of my right rear tail lights.. i thought that it was the bulbs, but before i could find time to replace them they started working again.. unfortunately, they only work for about a day and then stop.. this has been going on for the past 2-3 weeks..

also, my front right speaker goes in and out seeming to correlate to the lights..

finally, i have had problems with my windows (all of them) not wanting to go down, but roll up perfectly fine.. i don't see what it could be other than an electrical or switch issue, but the dealership couldn't find any problem.. this happens rarely, but for a day or two at a time.. and i can't tie it to the other problems timewise..

i have replaced both front turn signal bulbs before and a right rear brake light bulb.. i wonder if one of the replacements are causing a problem, but i find it very odd that i should have already replaced that many bulbs to begin with..

my mechanic that works on my other cars suspects a ground.. any ideas?

Very possibly could be a ground. This is not an easy problem to track down.

Could you have used the wrong bulb types?
