Sounds like you have a number of problems.
a. hazard lights and no head lamp dimming and no turn indicator, most likely the multi function switch has failed. but check the bulbs first.
b. head lamp bulb is burnt
c.side mirror switch is disconected or has failed

Mirrors do not work on my 1998 ford windstar. Is there a fuse involved? What could it be?

just look in one of your fuse boxes for the mirror fuse. there should be a box underhood, and one under dash on drivers side. the cover will show the fuse locations.

I have a 1998 ford windstar lx 3.0, i am having problems with the a/c in the back, i have a/c in the front but all i get is hot air, what could be the problem.

If the front ac is cold,and the rear air is hot,then the expansion valve is most likely the problem in the rear.
