Default 91 Accord lx small electrical problems

I have a 91 Honda Accord LX. I got the car with 166 thousand miles on it and everything worked prefectly except for the lights for the heat switches were out. Since then I've put 2 thousand miles on it and a few things have started to happen. There all small things and seem to be ralated in some way.
First my dome light went out, we tried to replace the bulb but nothing happened, then my windshield wiper stopped working when I tried to use the washer fluid, but they work otherwise. Next my cigarette lighter stopped working and the dinging noise my car used to make when my headlights were on stopped working, and lastly my antena doesn't go down anymore.
All of these things have happened 1 day after the next and I'm afraid I'm going to get stuck one day with no windshield wipers or with a car that won't start. I checked all the fuses and they are all perfect. My father mentioned it could be a ground wire problem but I have no idea where those are located so any help on where to find the ground wires or any other things that could be causing these problems would be very appreciated. Thank you.

It sounds like your father is right. Trace you negative terminal wire to the spot where it connects to the chasis.
I would also checked all the connectors. Just unplug it and plug it back again. It may help.
