In my quest to get my A/C up and running I swapped the evaporator. A/C got fixed but no I have a significant amount of electrical problems, which are: stereo does not work, locks do not work, interior lighting (map lights, overhead lights, and others) do not turn on, alarm does not work, when closing door light in dash rather than turn off to indicate door being closed slowly dims away(takes up to 3 mins for light to turn off), warning chime to indicate key being in ignition or headlight being on does not sound anymore. Check all the fuses and they are good, any one have any idea what is up. Thanks.

I would give all of my harnesses under the dash and in the engine a good looking over. Look for melted wires or ones that look like some amateur surgery has been performed. Look at any modifications to the wiring that have been done as well (radio is common). Then, look at one circuit, find the issue and fix it. Then move onto the next. I suspect some of these are linked and you will probably fix a few when you get a certain one. However, the only way to find it is to start troubleshooting, one circuit at a time.
