Default couple electrical issues

I have a 1990 cherokee I bought about a week ago and there are a few things that arent working, (1)the power seats dont do anything at all when i hit the buttons (2) I cant get the rear liftgate to lock, My key wont work in it either so I have no way of locking it.... (3) When I turn on my headlights my radio turns on and off. Anyone know what might be going on? ive checked the fuses and none of them are blown. ohh and another wierd thing that happens is when I turn my heater on or my ac on my rpm goes from about 600 rpm(idle) to 800 rpm. and yeah the idle seems low I think.

Thanks for any help! I know there are a lot of problems here....

sounds like more then one problem. if your getting the low idle all the time sometimes its alil up and down id check the iac its a sensor type thing next 2 the tps sensor usaully if u can get ti out have someone turn the key to on dont start just on will work and lsten and look at the tip it should move alil and make a nosie while its moving also notice if its covered in carbon if so u could try cleaning it off. if its not moving or making noise its prolly junk from what i know.
