Hey, my 72 chevelle has had some dash problems for a while now but its finally gotten to the point were i need to fix it.

Problems:
1. The CD Deck shuts off/turns back on randomly(shifting gears, braking, just driving)
2. If i have my headlights on and i turn on the wipers, the dash lights go out. Both Turn Signals light up solid green, and it says i have my brights on when i dont.
3. Random combinations of lights on while doing things like turn signals or turning on brights will cause dash to malfunction( Gas tank goes below E and returns once lights are turned off)

I believe it may be a ground issue but im not sure where to find my dashboards ground wire and not sure if its grounded correctly or not.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Sure sounds like no ground or a poor ground.
Try running a ground wire from the isnt. cluster to the parking brake.

Im not exactly sure how i would do that...think you can explain how to do that in a little more detail

Connect a piece of light gauge-flexible wire to a ground point on the cluster and screw the other end of it to the parking brake bracket.
