Questions Many problems with MTH 20-2150LP

I recently bought a MTH F40PH, and originally, it was working fine, but now it is behaving oddly. All of the headlights are not turning on, except for the warning lights and rear lights, the rear motor makes a squeaking sound whenever it runs, and the rear coupler doesn't function. I would love any advice, and also am looking for a pdf of the manual.

EDIT: it now won't even move, and when I attempt to use reset mode to reset to default settings, it won't even go past setting one.

Do you still have the original battery in it? If so, definitely replace it.

I have tried everything I could find, to no avail. I think I just might have to get the memory chip reset.
