New truck, new problems

Just picked up a 99 F150 2wd and it has some problems and seeing if they're common problems with common fixes instead of me taking it to the dealership or a garage and paying up

So I'll add some pics but basically here is whats going on:-ABS light constantly on

-Seatbelt light constantly on

-Shift linkage is loose and about 3/4" off at the P R N D indicator selector

-Leaking in cab when raining (above passenger seat)

-Doors/Dome lights do not turn on with doors open

-Remote start works but keyless entry doesn't on aftermarket Python system

Well with the leaking in the cab that is prolly a bad seal on the front glass or the sun roof ( if so equipped).
Fix the leak and "hopefully the electrical issues will subside....if not... the GEM module is prolly corrupted from water migrating in and dripping on it. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ers-issue.html
As far as, the gear selector being off there is a adjustment wheel on the under side of the dash near the steering column that can adjust it back to proper position. IF that does not stay , then there is a plastic clip that hold the adjustment wheel in place, not to spendy or hard to get to.
