Check to see if alternator is charging. Battery light is an indicator that your alternator is not charging. Start engine use multimeter at battery 20 v dc or if autorange meter just dc. engine at idle the battery should read 14 - 14.5 volts. if not replace alternator.

    I thought that what it was just hoping it wasn't, tested at autozone could.not register above 11 on the voltage test. It just looks like a pain to change

    They aren't that difficult to change Just disconnect the battery before you start. Just the neg terminal is fine. take your time and pay attention to where the bolts are and any support brackets. there should be a pully diagram that shows the routing of the belt under the hood . Take your time have fun with it . OR take it to someone and have them do it for ya. CRV is not that bad. My supervisor has a new MINI and the whole front of the car had to be removed to gain access to replacing the alternator. LOL.

On the pillar drivers side there is a switch. unscrew the switch. (On the bottom covered in rubber is the screw). The switch tends to get pushed out of the holder. clip back into steel holder & give a spray with wd40 if you have some. Fit back into pillar & put screw back.

Either your battery cables are loose, or dirty, or you forgot to turn something off, and your battery is dead.

All lights in the back of my 2007 honda crv dont work?

The wiper phenomenon you described is normal. It's a really cool feature. The car knows that you're moving so the wipers adjust to your speed.

The headlights and radio light problems you described is probably a bad battery. I didn't know about it either until I took my 07 CRV for it's 15k mile maintenance and they tested the battery. They said the battery was defective and wasn't putting out enough power so they gave me a new battery. Since it was under warranty, it didn't cost me anything.
