Just a quick question, Has the car ever worked properly? Was it working and then stopped, or has it always been this way?

It definitely sounds like you have a charging problem. The battery is providing all electrical power. Without looking at the car, I would have to guess that there are bad connections somewhere. Starting over with the charging system may not be a bad idea. If you can find someone local to you that is familiar with electrical troubleshooting, he may be able to help by looking at the car as well.
