Jeff,
#1
make sure your steering column is actually grounded.
You should have a little jumper wire across the steering
knuckle to ground the column to the steering rack and
another from rack to chassis/harness.
(remember you column is isolated in the bushes inside
the column)
sorry...can't help with #2... no experience
