A couple of odd behaviors have been noticed,

a) The "reserve" indicator on the fuel gauge glows dimly at all times.

b) When the door is open, stepping on the brakes cause the warning
   buzzer to sound.  Activating the turn signals causes the buzzer to
   sound in time with the signal flashing.  Neither happens when the
   door is closed.

c) Opening the front doors does not light the front interior light,
   though the light works using its switch.

d) Dash illumination works, but trying to adjust the brightness causes
   it to go dark.  Fiddling with the brightness control I can get it to
   light up again.

I'm thinking a) and b) are signs of bad grounds.  Maybe c) as well.  d)
sounds like dirty rheostat, is this something that can be cleaned e.g.
with DeOxIt?
