Strange electrical gremlins - '97 9K CSE Turbo

I've got some strange electrical problems and I'm looking for the grounds associated with them.
First, is there a chassis ground on the 9k like there is on the 900 at the frame anywhere? Tracing the battery negative goes to the fender and then down to a bolt adjacent to the driver's side engine mount.
Is there any chassis ground more substantial?
Symptoms:
1) The anti theft alarm doesn't make any alarm sounds any more.
2) The key used to open and close all four door locks - now it just opens the driver's door lock.
3) Strange headlight operation - once the lights are turned on they stay on no matter the headlight control switch position. And the indicator on the dash appears to have a fault in both headlights.
4) I always get a low voltage reading after starting the car (about 11 volts).
This all sounds to me like a bad electrical ground or set of grounds somewhere...
HELP!
Thanks,
Todd inMA
