Default 96 Dakota Electrical issues

Have a 96 Dakota, the dome light does not come on when doors open (works with light switch), the high beam light stays on even when high beams are dimmed, and the fan only has 2 speeds. Can anyone help with diagnosis ?? Thanks, Bob.

For the dome lights check the IOD fuse in the PDC box under the hood.

High beam light could be the multifunction switch.

Fan could be the blower resistor or the in dash switch.
