What is the name of the wire that runs all the way down the drivers side of the car affecting the headlights, windshield wipers, and turn signals?

Had a blowout on front driver side of the vehicle listed above station wagon. Caused damage to a wire that runs all the way down the drivers side of the car affecting the headlights, windshield wipers, and turn signals. In order to use the left signal headlights must be off. Headlights only work while on hi-beam setting and I have to unplug wiper fuse to keep them from constantly running?? Any ideas and if anyone knows the name of that wire? i would appreciate if they inform me. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

The headlamps, signals, wipers, and so on are on different circuits. Can you take a pic of the wire you are referring to so I can see it and its color?

Also, let me know if this wire is exposed the entire way to the rear because there shouldn't be any exposed.

Let me know.
