Default my dakota that i bought last week is already breaking down

i have an 03 dodge dakota that i bought last wednesday from a used car lot. it has been running fine other than a leak in the power steering fluid hose which isnt a big deal. until last night when i went to drive my truck after it had been sitting outside for about 4 hours. the head lights wouldnt turn on either with the interior and dash lights and same with the intermitent setting on my wipers and my service 4x4 light is on and the truck wont shift into 4x4 at all. its not the fuses. or the battery. any ideas?
thank you kurtis
