I had that happening too, the diagnostic was random misfire. I didn't know what cylinder so the distributor cap, the rotor and spark plugs wires were changed it helped. The light still comes on now and again.

the crank sensor would give those symptoms , have the OBD codes read to confirm , the CEL wont always come on , don't rely to much on the CEL you know if your vehicle isn't running right

The computer comes out through the underhood access.

Have you checked the dimmer switch ?

The speedometer is electronic and controlled by a micro processor, the needle is operated by a special DC electric motor called a "stepper" motor, this little motor can cause this problem as well as the Vehicle speed sensor on the transmission (see photo below), either part can cause the problem, the cruise not working would lead me to believe the speed sensor is defective, but you should have a Check Engine light on and a fault code for the sensor, do you have either? Autozone and others do the fault code test for free, ask for an OBD2 fault test. Here is the picture of the sensor I mentioned.

you may have a fuel leak or your motor is running rich check the fuel tank and have your idle speed motor checked

Sounds like the wrong sensor for the car. The correct sensor would also have 3 wires: a signal wire, a ground, and a voltage, reference voltage wire. The 4 wire sensor sounds like it might be a Heated Oxygen Sensor, not applicable on your car.

It could or it could be a fuse, or the wiring. When you operate the spray can you hear the pump humming? if not, take the pump off the vehicle and test it with a battery.

If its on the outside its probably part of the seal around the windshield or one of the side seals for the door.

Chances are the tire has "stuck" itself to the bottom of the frame of the vehicle. This happens when a new tire comes into contact with a clean metal surface and remains there under pressure for a period of time.

If you've unscrewed the holder, and can see that the mechanism is loose from the tire, then use your foot or a 2 x 4 or pipe or something and try to wedge/lever against the tire to break it loose. Make sure you arm, leg, foot, or had is not under the tire as it will likely fall to the ground, and those things are heavy.

Overdrive is your highest gear used at freeway speeds to reduce engine RPM and enhance fuel economy. If you have a towing option button (usually on dash or shift handle) make sure that it is not activated, otherwise you will not get the benefit of overdrive.

Do they not work with either switch(does passenger side work with passenger side switch?)If so you may have a bad connection on the switch on the drivers door.If not you may have a bad relay or fuse.A mistake alot of people make in the winter time is try to put the window down when they are frozen shut.You can easily break the plastic parts in a power window this way.
