2 Noises too many + windshield wipers wont work + CD Error! PLEASE HELP

Hi everyone, im new here.
I have been reading through the forum in hopes that i will come across someone else experiencing the same problem as me, but no luck so far.

I'll get right to it and i will be very greatful for any help that anyone here can offer me (i am very inexperienced when it comes to cars by the way).

Ok, ive got a 1995 Nissan Maxima with 130K miles on it.

Noise # 1 :
About 2 winters ago, i discovered a noise. When the temperature is cold outside (anything below 50 degrees causes this noise) I hear what i can best describe as the following :

Imagine taking a piece of paper and sticking it in a fan, you will hear a fluttering type noise as the fan blades spin and hit the piece of paper. The colder it gets, the louder it gets (I guess thats the best analogy i can use to describe it. ).
This problem is hard to recreate because on average it takes me about 15-20 minutes to actually drive on the road to get it to make this sound, thats why its hard for any mechanic to diagnose it.

In the summer however, or whenever the temperature is above 50 degrees, i dont hear that noise at all. Its completely gone.


Noise # 2 :
Its a loud squeaky sound coming from the drivers side. Not sure whats causing it or where it came from (almost sounds like its coming from the wheels), but the faster i drive the squeakier it gets. Even if im going 5-10 MPH i can hear it. I only hear it when i roll down the window, but otherwise i wouldnt even have known it was there. Just put new tiress in, got balance, rotation done, not sure if that makes a difference. Any ideas??


Problem # 3 :
My windshield wipers started acting really funny a few months ago. Then all of a sudden one night when it was raining really hard, they decided to stop working on me while i was on the interstate .
Had to pull over, and realized that this happens after they are on for periods of 20 minutes or more at a time. Once again hard to replicate for a mechanic (i already took it to my mechanic at a nissan dealership) and he said he had a hose pointed at that sucker for 10 minutes and drenched the garage with water and still couldnt get it to malfunction.
But this happens to me EVERYTIME it rains and i drive home.
Could it be a motor that powers the wipers???

Problem # 4 :
CD Error on Bose unit.
I ordered one from Ebay, so i guess that will take care of that at least.


I know thats a lot of stuff i posted, but i seriously need advice as im completely clueless as far as what i should do or what course of action to take that wont cost me an arm and a leg.
Plus im still a college student and i can only afford so much at any given time. Please help a fellow Maxima owner out.

Thanks in advance,
Hamid.

there is no answer to the cd error other than another head unit. the cold weather rattling noise is most likely the timing chain. the screeching is either brakes or a torn cv boot. i don't really know about the wipers.
