Default Need help with some little problems.

Hey guys just got my truck yesterday and have a few little problems i'm trying to sort out. It's a 2002, 1500 First is the overhead console won't light up (the thing that displays direction/temperature) It was working fine yesterday but then all of a sudden it stopped working. I was playing with the settings a little bit, do you think i may have messed it up somehow?

2 other small problems that maybe you guys might know how to fix are the cruise control doesn't seem to be working. I press the cruise button and the light comes on the dash. When i press set nothing happens.

Lastly The heated seats aren't working either. When i press the button the light just flashes on both of them.

Thanks you in advance if you can help me out.

the early overhead consoles were known for going out, and if i recall they are not worth the $$$ to get them fixed. How fast were u going when u tried to set the cruise control? there is a minimum speed that you have to be traveling, that way u dont set it in parking lots on accident or somethin.

Cruise control unit could be bad, but have you checked your fuses? generally heated seats and cruise control are seperate, but maybe dodge has them together?
I would check all of your fuses. There are testers that you can touch the top of the fuses without the hassle of pulling them or trying to see through them if they are good or not. The tester is like $15 and it is very handy.
