headlight wiring.... bad ground

another headlight question. besides the fact that i think the nylon gears have screwed the pooch, my driver's side light is VERY dim... and when i hit the turn signal for the left signal, the headlight blinks as well as the signal. also, the indicator light in the cluster is always on when the lights are on, and the front signal is also always on. very annoying. I've replaced all the bulbs (they were bad and old anyway), but i'm suspecting a bad ground. does anyone (read: Trickster) have a diagram of an 82 T/A's headlights? and also, a location of where the ground wire is so i can fix it would be great.
