Can help you with two.

The blower problem is a blown resistor. Common problem with E34's. Dealer can replace the whole resistor a$$embly (sometimes called the "sword," I think). Some have replaced only the resistor but I'm not that good with a soldering iron.

Check the archives for the SI light reset procedure. Briefly it goes something like this:
Jump pins 7 & 19 on the diagnostic receptical. Turn ignition to run. Wait for SI lights to go out. Turn ignition off. Remove jumper. (Better check the archives first, though.)

Good luck with both the car and your "Caps Lock" key!
