Make sure all your connectors are attached behind the dash, there's one for the headlight switch, one for the 4WD switch, two for the HVAC controls and one for the airbag switch. If it has truely been water damaged (as under water) you may have electrical gremlins for ever.

as i take it, the interior was flooded.. i wouldnt put it past me the body control module is shot. its in the driver kick panel, about 3/4 an inch from the floor. everything you mentioned is controlled by that thing.
