Default Electrical Mayham 97 F150

so the other day the battery died on my 1997 F1 50 XLT 4.6 L I replaced it. a day later I started to drive and turned on my headlights the dash lights went out but the turn signal Indicators and the hi beam indicator went on solid. When I turn my headlights off the dash lights came back on and stayed on after toggling the dome light controlfor a few min the dash lights finally went out. When I have my headlights off the turn signals work when I turn my headlights on the turn signals do not work. when I turn my heat on I got a buzzing noise from underneath the dash and nothing out of the Fan at all. I And the alternator bench tested and it was good. I could not find any blown fuses or melted wires. Is my truck Possessed? Or is there some common link I haven’t found yet

-thanks for any input

Sounds like you have a ground problem, follow the battery negative cable (-) along it's path to the engine block, look for broken/disconnected wires.
