Default Dash lights won't power down 86 190e

Got the engine running well now, butnow faced with electrical bugs:

86 190e 2.3 auto 145k

-Warning light SRS stays on regardless if running or not
-Additional warning lights go out after powering up, but come on again when car is parked and turned off.
-Fuel gauge swings erratically, sometimes cued by gear selector
-Solenoid which monitors PCV stays on and cycles continuously until battery dies.

Solenoid picture here:

Trying to avert an expensive repair bill. Any help appreciated.

More discoverry- By manipulating moonroof switch, brake pedal and ignition, I can isolate the short to the door buzzer switch (still buzzing). Battery draw stops by shutting the door.

Is this a loose ground somewhere?
