87 300E Wacky Electrical Problems....

Hi Everyone,
So, I took the 300E out of storage last week and noticed my fuel gauge was acting funny. Yesterday I noticed it would read empty every time I applied the brake. No big deal right... Gets much worse!

So, I opened the sun roof and it works great as usual. When I get home I try to close it. It won't close! It will creep an inch or so then stop. Almost like as if the battery is dead. I look down at my center console when I push the sunroof switch and for about 5 seconds afterwards everything is blinking on and off like a Christmas tree! My lights/illumination were not even on to begin with. So then I drive the car to my shop. While driving the turn signals start acting funny. The clicker relay sounds funny and the left turn light inside the car stays lit dimly. Oh, also my brake lights go on when I try to close the sun roof. Is my car possessed or what? All these problems seem to be related as they all started massive issues all at once. If anyone could give me some tips on where I should start looking first, that would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Adam
