Weird Probs...please help

Hey guys, I know this has been discussed multiple times individually but I seem to be having these problems all at once and am unsure if they are related. First off my seatbelt warning dummy light stays on when the car is off. Almost everytime...it seems dimmed though. It turns on when the car is started and turns off like it should...everyonce in a while it will flicker while I drive but its just for a second. Also the E-brake light doesn't always work...it only sometimes illuminates. Plus the clock only works when it wants to...I figured it was the connectors back there and planned on resoldering them soon. Well to continue last weekend I installed my spoiler and looking in the back there appears to be water all over the area around the side quarter panel mostly the drivers side and a bunch of sludge is there very nasty. I figured water was being thrown up through a hole in the wheel well or something but there is no openings I can see and I know the decklid is not leaking. The reason why I include this is because I saw a bunch of wires around there and it appears to me that they can get rather wet. Now just yesterday as I was coming home from work I noticed my security light was on. It hasn't been turning on at ALL for the past few weeks but it was lit while I was driving. I got out of the car and closed it like I usually do to arm the alarm system but the light never turned off. One last weird thing is my radio also starts going out...I have subwoofers and they keep going but it just the inside speakers will cut out sometimes. I know there are speaker wires back around the quarter panel. I know there are a lot of things in the post but they all seem electrical to me somehow and they are all happening at once seemingly...any ideas on where to start or on what to do?
thanks in advance!!!!

Dan

by the way I have an 87 TII in case it makes any difference...

Hey guys
another weird problem i forgot to mention is that sometimes when the key is in the ignition and the door is opened...when it beeps its a very faint beep almost like its dying...also everyone once in a while when i am idleing before i even drive the car makes a weird beeping noise thats different to any of the other ones i have heard. its kinda like reverse beeping that school busses have just not as annoying. If anyone can help it would be GREATLY appreciated. I can't stand having the RX like this!!!!

I'd try and find where the water was comming from. are your hatch drain holes clogged? dry the wries and see what happens. I'd resolder the clock / cluster. these cars have very bad electronic problems.

Thanks for the advice. Where are the hatch drain holes? They might have clogged...I didn't even know there were drain holes. I will check that out when I go home next. I think I figured out the Security light problem I think its when the key hole in the door isn't totally verticle the light stays on. I was playing with it before. When I lock the door from the inside the door locks and all but the key hole only moves about 45 degrees. Anyways thanks for the help!!

open the rear hatch and underneith where the glass goes in both rear corners are 2 drail holes about 1/2-3/4" or so. just stick a coat hanger or something down them and make you you can see it come out underneith the rear bumber.
