You'll need an honest technician , This is not a job for johnny jerk wrench . You could look around for any obvious electrical problems but if you can't use a multi tester then good luck

If this is a retired police cruiser you have your hands full.bought a retired crown Vic from municipal auction ao many gremlins ended up replacing dash to rear harness.
