Gauge Problem

There is something wrong with my instrument panel... First of when I turn the head lamp **** to turn the panel lights on the right blinker arrow come on it doesen't blink it just stays on. Then some times when I turn the **** my tach and gauge neddles go Up and down,I'm thinking its a ground problem but not sure, any body got any ideas on what it is and how to fix it??

also, there are two wires a red and an orange coming out of the firewall over by were all the relays are I'm just wondering where these go

This might be helpful and may not..I purchased my camaro from another state cause I couldnt find what i was looking for here in town.When I got my car I found leaves/branches etc around the relay area,and along the drivers framerail.To make a long story short..a pack rat had chewed up two injector wires and a few wires near the relay bracket ,I had to cover every inch of the harness in the car.These guys love making homes in engine compartments...and creating electrical problems when building their homes.If the wires are chewed up..then you have had a visitor.

One way to find out... unplug it and see what happens?

I think you will need to get ahold of a wiring schematic for your vehicle and possibly those two wires you stated might be connected to the headlight switch..there is a red and orange wire coming off the headlight wiring schematic for a 90 camaro.
