Mike,
For starters, the gauges are all off the same power line.
I don't understand what you mean by vents?
The interior an exterior lights are on different circuits.

The doors are on a seperate power source, there are one 2 relays (normally)
in the car, 1 for the horn and the starter solenoid.

You have a volt meter? I thought all the cars had an amp meter. If you
do really have a volt meter, it sounds like it is wired wrong. It should
come off of one of the power lines that is feed by the "run" position of
the ign. switch. It sounds like it was wired right off the battery.

There is only 2 things I can think of that all the systems, you are having
problems with, have in common. That is the firewall penetration block and
the grounds.
There should be about 3 black wires connected to the back of the driver side
fender well. This forms the main ground for a lot of the systems.
You can check the firewall penetration and fuse block are all tight. If
that isn't it, try removing the fuse block and see that the wires are all
connected, that there isn't a broken or loose wire.
Hope this helps.
