major electric malfunction

My SVX was hit this year by unfortunate chain of events.
First some one busted my windshield,i was able to buy new one but it was damaged in transport.
Couuple weeks ago i finaly got another one for free from member of this forum.
Last month i got flat tire while driving 65mph in pretty dense traffic.It was raining and for some reason my flashers did not work,but my turn signals worked fine.So i had to get set of 2 new tires(other 2 have90% left).
When puting spare on i broke one of whell studs.On my way back from tire shop i got "christmas tree lights "on dashboard.I had to go another 15 miles to auto parts store to test my alternator.It was bad ,almost dead.
I ordered a new one and headed home,another 5 miles.Car bearly made it.My battery exploded and acid spiled on my parking lot but i had to pusch my car in to parking space.I ordered new battery.
Last saturday i finaly had time to put new alternator,belt and battery in.I had to replace some 10 blown fuses under the hood and behind driver kick panel.
I fired the car and it worked fine for minute or two then dark red/brown smoke started comming from under the steering column inside of the car. I didnt have time to check if everything was working when it was running.

After shutting her down i had to replace 10Afuse for clock in main fuse box and 20A for front wipers in kick panel. 10 A was replaced and does not blow off now 20A keeps blowing off immidietly after starting the car.

Here is how my car works now(or does not work):
-engine starts ,revs and works no hesitation.
-all external lights work(hi low fog park)
-no turn signals or flashers
-center over head panel lights don't work
-sun visor lights work
-sun roof works
-clock does not work
-radio works
-cd player does not work
-cigaret lighter works
-dash illumination does not work
-ac /heat/fan works
-cruise control does not work
-ABS light stays on
-AIR BAG light stays on
-rear wiper and splasher works
-front wiper does not work
-front splasher works
-wiper winter position swich does not work
-automatic seat belts work
-all windows work
-remote mirrors work
- central door lock does not work


power steering does not work
power brakes works.

I removed panel under stering column and looked there hopeing to se something obvious but could not see nothing.
Any ideas or sugestions?

I know nothing about electricity.

I,m sending pm's to OT and YT,maybe they can help.
If not i will put it in shop and hope they not gonna ripe me off!
I need my car for READING meet!!!

MY car is 1992 lsl 118k 5mt.
