Default Several Problems with Dodge Durango 5.9l R/T

I have a 2001 Dodge Durango with approximately 180,000 miles. Some lights on the instrument panel don't work, High beams don't stay on, buttons on the stereo don't work, buttons on the steering wheel don't work, heated seats don't work, cruise control and horn don't work, as well as the abs and brake light warnings are on. What is the problem with it?

Did you just buy it? Might want to read this on troubleshooting.

I bought it last year, and so far ive replace fuel pump, filter, lower ball joints, cv axles, shock/struts, and spark plugs. If any of that is useful.

So did these problems just start or has it been that way since day one?

Cruise control, airbag light and horn all happened in the last few month. Everything else was like that when I bought it.

Cruise, airbag, horn, and steering wheel buttons sound like a clockspring issue. High beam is probably an issue with the turn signal switch/stalk assembly.

I would say a clock spring issue and a multi-function switch issue.
