The sender may be bad. A full reading on the gauge would be near 0 ohms from the sender. Something is grounded, either the wire or the sender. As for the dash lights, check you fuses and all the other bulbs. I have seen were a park lamp filament lays across a turn signal/brake light filament and causes weird backfeeds.

If you suspect a pinched wire to the gas tank sender, pull the IVR and the connection to the sender and take a resistance test between the sender wire and ground.

I'll agree you may have 2 or 3 issues but if I understand correctly you started with 1 being the fuel gauge. So I would back track and try to figure out what is causing the other two issues which sound A LOT like a ground problem. Once that is resolved I would go back to the fuel gauge which again, I'll agree sounds like a grounded sending connection or wire. One can disconnect the wire at the sending unit or preferably at either the rear harness connector or instrument panel connector until the other two issues are resolved. Doing so will also allow you to ohm out each section of the harness. Might also wat to look at this post https://board.moparts.org/ubbthread...temperature-gauge-issue.html#Post3086628keep us posted
