Hello,
I have 92 LS400, w/traction control. It has many problems ,power seats are not working (relays are making little sound), mirrors are moving only to up and down , left front speaker is making cracking sound, and battery is getting empty all the time, speedometer too is dead along with half fuel meter. But this is okay if i get the right diagrams and key to read them.Today, half of my cylinders stopped working. Engine started to stall and to smell like un-burned or leaking fuel. After stopping (first I was sure that my fuel is ending but after stopping at the gas station and noticing some smoke i think its not okay.

You could have a loose wire connection somewhere and is going to take some testings and diagnostics to get to the problem. Try checking wire harness connectors at junction/fuse boxes for a start.
Firstly you would need a DVOM or testlight and start with power supply to any one component that is not working first.
As to mirror not working correctly, that could be a fault with the switch.
