Have you checked the fuses first? Check the under-hood fuse box.

For the under-hood fuse, no. 30 fuse (20A) for the horn, no. 32 (15A) for the dash lights, etc., no. 32 (20A) for the power locks, no. 37 (7.5A) for ceiling light, etc.

Troubleshoot each system individually. I'm betting you have 4 seperate problems.

Generally, no. You might have electrical problems if the wires were cut and not properly insulated which may cause a short; for example, if a positive (+) bare wire touch metal or ground.

The best advice is DEluth' advice to troubleshoot each system separately. For example, using a multimeter, test light, etc. and following troubleshooting steps from a service manual.
