Interior Electrical Issues

Hello. I'm posting a lot tonight, but I'd like to get my car project finished up sometime. 1986 olds 88. I ought to post some pics sometime too...

Anyway, I am haveing some electical problems with my interior. I'll just list them and if someone can help me out i will love them forever :smooch: (J/K)

Radio:
The car didn't have a radio when I got it so i wired in a stock delco radio from a 1990 88. It lights up when my lights are on and I can push my volume knob to get the time (which fades away after 5 secs or so). I need an adapter to get the antannae plug to work, but as far as i can see it is wired right (but I'm a bit colorblind...). Otherwise the radio does nothing but light up. Suggestions?

Interior dome light:
Another part off the 1990 88 (check my sig :rolleyes: ) was the dome light assembly. The '86 just had the wires dangling from the roof. The light doesn't work now and I believe the bulb wasn't destroyed from the wreck. I think that the wires may have shorted out since they were just bare wires...

Rear door window:
I know the door itself is fine (another 1990 part) but when i was cutting off the original electical connector in the '86 (behind the plastic B-pillar shield) i neglected to take the key out of the ignition and it sparked. All the other windows work (minus my track on my drivers door). Help!

Sorry for the long-windedness, but I'm really stuck and I'd like to be able to get my dash and window trim back in place so I dont have to haul it around in my back seat all the time.

Help would be VERY appreciated! :)

I have checked fuses. Several times.

Some of them are of very cheap quality but I wouldn't think that would matter much.
