Electrical problem after restore

Just finished a restore paint project on my 77 targa and now having electrical problems. The problems are as such...Rear right running light does not work but have power to it, the passenger door buzzes when it is open, the headlights work great on high and low beam until the directional is put on then the high beams dim right out until directional is shut off. I'm not sure if it is a grounding problem or some wires got crossed in the reconnect. Does anybody have some insight or a quick solution. I would be very much thankful for the help. I am not that smart when it comes to electrical problems or cars for that matter. Just love to drive them. Thanks for the help.

Mark

You probably just need to clean up the grounds. The new paint might be insulating the ground points. Make sure the grounds are attached to bare metal.
