Only thing in common with all those circuits is the battery - check your battery cables - and remember they sometimes rot from the inside where they join the clamps

when my headlights did that on my 69, it was a wire on the dimmer switch.
just changed the harness and it was fixed.was about $6. and it's one of the few old wires still on the truck.
another thing you should think about is a new wiring harness.from the sound of it, you might have a few problems.
i did my whole truck in a weekend, cost about 400, and i now have enough circuits for power windows, doors, ac.lol
