High Beams on / Bad earths?

Hi Guys,

I have recently moved all my engine and wiring over to a new shell and have a couple of electrical issues.

1 - High beams on and won't turn off - reading some other threads it seems like I may just need to mess with the stalk to fix this?
2 - Indicators works when I flick to turn right but not when I flick left. I am just getting a horrible buzzing sound from the fusebox area. - I was thinking this could be a bad earth or maybe releated to the stalk again?
3 - Where are all the best earths and how would you earth the fuse box up? I have a feeling a have a bad earth so wouldn't mind going round and doing all of this properly.
4 - car fired up perfectly the other day then cut out the next day when I started it again. It appears I am now not getting a spark even after changing plugs - I am guessing this could maybe be a blown fuse which I haven't checke yet, or a dead coil. I will check al the feeds this weekend though but has anybody else got any other recomendations?
5 - Fuel pump fuse keeps blowing - bad earth?

If I was to go round and check everything is earther properly can somebody tell me how to do this? I have a multimeter etc but am no sparky so some tips would be great.

Thanks

How much of the wiring did you swap over? Full loom or just engine loom?

Hi Mate,

I swapped everything. So all the loom and fuse box etc. I didn't disconnect the loom from the fusebox either.
