Replace blower motor
Some of these are located so that you must jack up the passenger front wheel and remove it. then remove the inner fender panel and you should now be able to access the motor. Clean all the trash out of the heater box while you have the motor out. FYI if the motor has stopped working, you may want to check the resistor first, as it is easy to get to, and if blown will cause heater not to work. Also check the fuses first of all.
Uses excessive amounts of gas
Wow. This could be most anything. Bad ignition coil, bad plugs and wires, bad coolant temp sensor, EGR, vacuum leak, bad timing chain....
Stereo shorts out not all speakers work turn volume up to get them to work
May be just bad volume control switch, or loose connection at speaker. You can try using electronic contact cleaner sparying down the shaft of the control after removing the knob. If this helps, you need new switch (or better still, new radio). If you can access the speaker that fails, you may inspect the wires which actually run from the voice coil to the speaker cone. If loose, it may be possible to re-solder them.
Oil smells like gas
This is not good and could be very dangerous. Likely causes are leaky fuel injector(s), engine mechanical problem such as bent or burt valve, hole in piston, mis-fire on one or more cylinders, and others. Gas in the oil can cause major engine problems. Do not try to run engine until fixed.
Fuel gauge and temp gauge wont work
Check fuses. Check that wiring to cluster is fully engaged. Both these get their 12 volt feed from the same wire, and then the sending units provide the grounds.
