This AM my car was dead. Right front window down on its own, clicking in door (locks?) Dash, underneath right dash light clicking on and off. A lot of erradic clicking going on. Had to disconnect the battery assembly to stop it.

Do you have an inexpensive digital voltmeter? If so start by measuring the battery voltage. If you have less than 12.6 volts, either the battery is bad or the generators is not recharging it while driving. We can test for that too after you tell me the battery voltage.
