ya got grounds hosed up it sounds like. AIM shows where tey all are. Go thru them and make sure they are all good. Sounds like you have more than one issue and its kind of hard to nail down without being there. But going thru the grounds will take some things out of the equasion. Also look at the main bulkhead connector and fuse clips. Intermittent problems like that are a PITA to isolate, but go thru the basics

I agree with Sixfooter that this a ground problem, look at the ones close to the engine bay.
