I had the same problem in my 94 GT. A ground wire by my battery broke and my electrical system went haywire. Check all your ground connections.

thanks for the help everyone. it ended up being the battery post were very diry. i cleaned them and no more problem. Just as a side notmy car had a bad vibration coming from the motor. so i replaced the motor mounts and that didnt fix it. then i found that my harmonic balancer was bad, so i put a new one on and the problem went way. just wanted to post this in case any one else has a vibration and cant figure out were it coming from.
