ok.... i guess i haven't found the connection(s) that is the bad....... "where is the computer on this sts".......and do you think it is one or two bad connections with the 15 grounds on this car....i do.     ......and can we rule out or key in on one or two  specificly?.......
what i'v done.....

1- cleaned and di-electric the two grounds under rear seat.. (i still think, its there, and am going to redo them) the main battery 1 and  one that comes in from the trunk...... this was done last year

2-also had g100, and g102 cleaned by  a tech, here where i live.

3- new cluster   got really takin on that......

4- new ignition switch

keep in mind.... the sts ran new all summer long, no E-Ghosts......its when the weather turned damp the E-Ghosts reappeared

thanks Stomper....thanks Katz......thanks Stealth............. you guys are the best

"when the weather turned damp the E-Ghosts reappeared "
THAT my friend, points  to only TWO things. 
a) oxidized connections
b) a cracked / damaged electronic component or connector, including BCM / ECM computers. I actually found one such bad component by applying a hair drier on high heat to each item see when the issue went away.

"3- new cluster   got really takin on that......"
a highly suspect "electronic" item as well as the connections to it

if i was a gambling man, i be betting on these.
Of course, what info you provide has to be correct.
