Courtesy Light staying on/ Dash lights not working

Open ground somewhere, I had it where my map light came on when I pushed the cigar lighter in. On another car, dual bulb tail lights (two bulbs per side), when I used the turn indicator the bulbs would blink alternately (inboard/outboard, same side of the car).

Something you worked on recently needs to be taken apart and put back together. This also happens on newly painted cars as sometimes the screws do not cut the paint enough.
