Was cleaning up frame grounds in effort to troubleshoot another issue but now seems like I have a whole new issue.

When I start the engine I have the following symptoms now:
-ABS and parking brake indicators turn on when driving in reverse but turn off when driving forward
-pass lock light comes and goes
-fuel and oil pressure gauges are slow to respond
-stepping on brake pedal illuminates the turn signal lights on the gauge cluster and side view mirrors
-chime goes off when the indicator lights are illuminated
-service 4wd message displayed
-check engine light is for an EVAP code otherwise no codes pointing to anything
-sometimes the engine won't stay running
-turn signals don't work

I'm suspicious its something with the ground under the drivers door but I'm not sure where to go with it. Connections are clean and tight.

Alright I think I figured this out. Looking at the schematic some of the parts I was having trouble trouble with were associated with the G110 ground. According the service info I have (its for an 06 though) that ground is supposed to be on the frame by the front shock mount. I don't have a ground there. I do though have one on the frame right behind the front bumper. I went to check that one out and noticed that the ring terminal that doesn't have the little tab on it was up on top the frame so it was never even connected. So I got this connected and seems like that took care of the problem.
