My car is an electrical headache...

The digi-dash and wipers work. The dome light works... Okay, that's all.

The headlight module may be shot (new one waiting on install). The headlights come on, but not up consistently.
The cruise doesn't work.
The seat motors (either side) don't work.
The brake light that was just replaced a week ago is out again.
The hatch pulldown is GONE and that wiring is hacked.
Since it came back from paint, the hatch release isn't working.
The fog lamp wiring was so badly hacked that one light melted. Fixed so it works, but still hacked.
The HVAC is wired up to a Fiero head unit.
The sound system is a 4th gen unit that quit working, I think, which lights up when I turn on the parking lights with the car OFF.
The lower tone on the horn quit, so now it sounds like a HonDuh.

Where do I begin!? Am I better off just building/buying a new harness?
