Default Greetings from Utah

Hello everyone!
New to this site and owning a Camaro. I came across a black 96 RS in March. Having the 3.8 V6 appealed to me with the better gas mileage. The body and interior are in very good condition for a 21 year old car. I'm the 4th or 5th owner. Had to replace the A/C compressor and it was in the shop a week flushing the coolant system as the previous owner neglected it badly. I've replaced (installed because they were missing) the clips on the passenger side rocker panel so it hugs the body like it should. It came a with a K&N cone air filter system that I discovered last weekend is only accessable from under the car. I'll be cleaning that filter this weekend and replacing the front passenger side marker light when I have it off the ground. I'm still working on why the door lock switch in the car and with the remote doesn't work. Everything else on the remote does. There's a 20amp fuse that blows when a new ones put in that I think is related to this. The windshield washer doesn't work either. My car has T-tops and no interior lights except the ones on the rear view mirror which don't work. Did Chevy really not put any other interior lights in this vehicle? There's a clicking noise under the passenger side dash also. The aftermarket stereo has 2 wires running out from underneath it for iPods and such that make the back speaker pop when they're bumped.
I truly love driving again with this car. Looking forward to getting all the problems fixed so I can enjoy it more. I've learned a lot from the forums and appreciate everything all of you share.
Any suggestions on the items my car is experiencing or pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you all!
