lots of electrical problems

Ok guys so I just bought a 99 and I know it has several problems. It was wrecked at some point and was only halfway repaired. I I have airbag light on which it is missing a sensor. But my other problems are the dome light doesn't work. Bulbs look ok. Its missing the cover but still should work. Then I believe the steering column was changed cuz it has power windows and locks so it should have cruise right? Also the horn doesn't work and the flashers are delayed. Any help would be appreciated.

Owner's manual... always check your owner's manual. Believe it or not, it contains useful information.

Are you sure the bulbs are ok? if you have a test light or something test the domelight and see if you have power there. But double check on the fuses again too, Im not sure about a "99" but the fuse on my "06" that controls the interior lights also goes to the horn as well. And no, just because you have power windows and locks doesnt mean you should have cruise too, mine has power locks and windows, mirrors etc..but no cruise.
