Got my first car and need some advice

[SupplyCoffee]

I’m currently stuck on trying to find fixes to a couple issues I have in my first car, 1998 Lincoln mark viii lsc, I got it for a whopping 1,100$, with no major problems, asides from my steering wheel not tilting and being freely moving up down left right, everything still seems to work on the wheel asides from brights not staying on unless held, it even spins inside during memory mode(which I def need to disable) and then my drivers side seat does the same, everything works inside, and corrasponds with the button, but does not move forward or back, anyone can give any advice, and an idea of where I should start. have pictures of there dash/chairs when taken apart etc it would be a huge huge help.
