Default Definately something electrical

Well, I've been getting the random lighting up of the dash board. My passenger side window would sometimes not work and now the whole passenger side door just doesn't work. Last night driving home I saw my headlights dim for a second. I put the DIC to voltage and two times before I got home the reading dipped to about 13 volts. So, I need to check all the grounds. I checked the two grounds behind the headlights and they looked good. What other grounds should I check?

Thanks.

PM Bill Curley for a complete list of ground points - I would also ask what year your car is, is it an original battery and what codes are being thrown?

It's a 2001 Z06. I just replaced the battery last week in hopes that's what it was.
