86 NA, Electrical Issues

So my car is acting strange, or not, I'm not positive.
When I turn my headlights on, dash lights, glove box light and hazards come on, however my lights do not pop up or turn on
The headlight up switch doesn't work at all, and my sunroof button turns on my headlights
Sometimes after turning on my headlights and turning the ignition the pop ups come up and down with the flip of the switch, yet my headlights turn off.
Also when my ignition is on, my shift up light buzzes to no end with nothing shutting it up except pulling the key out.
When the ignition is set to on, the sunroof button also operates the sunroof, although it's jammed I can hear the motor whirring away.
Also after turning the key the hazards eventually stop going and my turn signals work.
I'm not sure exactly how much of my dash actually works, since the headlight switch seems to do fine but the wipers, hazards, and other buttons don't work whatsoever. I could really use your help since I'm trying to get this thing sorted out and working before school starts again. I got swindled out of my money because the guy told me the engine turned over and the car ran and drove after a battery charge and new brake calipers but around 600 dollars later I'm still right where I started and I don't even know where to begin.

Focus on the ground wires as explained in the following link especially the ground plug near the trailing coil.
