86 300E - need help with several problems

My 86' 300E has several problems that I'd like to fix immediately but I don't know where to begin. I was hoping someone on this forum could guide me in the right direction.

1. Anti-lock brake light goes on intermittently and stays on when I start the engine. It'll happen about 50% of the time. Even though the anti-lock brake light is on, the brakes feel fine without any changes. I'm guessing a relay is going bad. What do you guys think? Note: I had all of the sensors and all the brake lines changed last year. I also had a new OVP relay installed about 6 months ago

2. I changed the driver side tie rod. I was able to tighten the outer nut, but the inner nut just won't tighten up (the bolt also turns, hence not allowing the nut to tighten). What should I do? Remove the nut and try again? (But if I do that, don't I need to get another new nut?)

3. Dash light to the instrument cluster is not working. I had the bulbs changed about a year ago. Should I have the bulbs changed again? What about the dimmer switch. How do I check if the dimmer switch is bad?

4. In the instrument cluster, the following items don't work (was working fine before I had the bulbs changed a year ago). RMP guage, clock, economy guage (I'm guessing the economy guage dysfunction is due to an unplugged vaccuum).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
