strange problems that seem to be related and cant seem to find whats causing it. some of the guages are note working, the tow/haul is not working. the trans drive indicator comes on but only with the key in the acc position but goes off in the on position and the batt light stays on. motor keeps dieing as well. any ideas????? have replaced the ignition switch and the ECM but nothing has changed. plugged the guage cluster into another truck and it worked just fine. ground problem maybe?? going crazy trying yo figure this one out

 

I dont have a lot of mechanical experiance but i have seen that many times with vehicles in the past, and in my experiance that definatly sounds like you have a ground issue. Would check out all your ground wires and make sure they are making a good clean contact to bare metal.
