My car tries to shut off if I use the power windows or if I turn on the rear defrost.

It sounds like you have an alternator that is not working, and the electrical system becomes weak when demand is put on it, do you have a battery light on? Let's check alternator output by following this guide:

There is no battery light on, but I read another one of your articles and I think it's okay now.
