Default Rotten wires 86 volvo 245 DL

I recently replaced all of the wiring in the engine compartment and underneath the driver side dash/center console after a no start spark/fuel condition. Now that I got every thing back together Im having trouble with a few things.

1. I cannot figure out where black wire for the horn plugs into. I touch it to ground and the horn sounds while the ignition is on.

2. No dash night light. the dimmer switch does nothing.

3. The Blower only blows hot air. wont blow neutral air.

4. The engine surges and stumbles, almost dies on first start or when cold. when it warms up it runs fine but when cold if giving gas it will bog and almost die.

Thats about it so far. Here are some pictures that might help.

Ideas?

Welcome to the forum,
I'll try to help with ideas...

1. What end of the wire are we talking about? Any ground should do.

2. Bulbs could be bad, loose connections on the back of the cluster...

3. Stuck lever maybe...

4. Could be dirty Throttle Body, IAC, failing ECT...
