Default help please

my mate's had my engine out my 3 door.. and we painted the engine bay and put new headlights in. we now have a strange problem.... if you turn the sidelights on they're fine... put ignition on and the inner full beam(o/s) comes on..... switch to dipped beam and it goes out.... flash full beam and you get all the n/s working fine but only the outside on the off side.... now i thought maybe the light... but we've also lost horn, rad fan and interior heater motor.... any ideas? , and please dont just say an earth.....give us a clue??? cheers tony
