Check your ground wire to make sure it's indeed at ground.

Most people, when they check their power wires to ground, they check ground at some bare spot of metal. I'm saying that the actual ground wire itself in your wiring socket may be bad.

Automotive grounds are tricky things. I once had a weird problem with a Neon. For one, whenever the headlights were turned on, the left side low beam would come on very dimly, and the windshield wipers would turn on. It was very weird. I would never have found the problem either, if I hadn't poked around under the hood and discovered a ground wire that had a loose bolt. I tightened that bolt to the chassis, and that weird problem went away.
