Not sure why the gas gauge is doing that but the CD player has a memory wire that needs to be wired to the battery slot in the fuse block. This is for the radio to have constant power to remember your selections.

Sounds like a possible ground problem to me.

1. Get a test light

2. It probably has to do with the memory wire.
