98 explorer changed steerin column will this make my door locks and windows not work

I believe it is 96 to 99 on these. If you got outside these years, then yes. You have a problem. It can be rewired, but you need schematics for both years.

98 explorer air conditioning compressor only engages for a few seconds, what do I check first

It sound like it has a low charge but if you know that it is fully charged you may have a bad low pressure switch . Also make sure that the condensor fan is working properly and the system is not building to much pressure.

Engin overheats , but it doesn't leak so why have to keep filling up with water and seen steam comin from like underneath the thermostat

Check your exhaust pipe when running. Do you see a lot of white smoke? If so, you most likely have a blown head gasket and are losing the water into the cylinders. This will cause overheating with no apparent leaking. If there is no white smoke, then you could be losing water from the "weep hole" under the water pump. This water often hits the engine block and evaporates (causing steam). Once you turn off the engine, the leaking often stops. Look carefully at the underside of the water pump for a small hole where the pulley shaft enters the pump. If you see traces of coolant (or signs that coolant ran down from the hole), you need to replace your water pump.

Only air coming out of the defrost vents and no other vents. Doesn't matter what you put the selector to.

May be the resistor pack located in the Engine bay by the blower. If worn they only blow one setting regardless of the setting on the dial. Easy to swap out .

1999 ford explorer no reverse but have all foward

Unfortunately it sounds like you have some internal transmission damage. When reverse wont function in your vehicle, it is fairly common that the reverse clutch plate in the transmission ha sworn the teeth off the gear. Once you have the transmission fixed, make sure you come to a complete stop when backing up before going forward. That is usually the action that will cause the theeth to wear off the clutch plate
