Default Random electrical issues

Alright, my 95 Jimmy is running great.... But the brakelights and hazards don't work. The blinkers work, but only if the hazard switch is pushed down... if I pull the switch up, the blinkers don't work and there are no hazard lights. I can hear a random clicking when the switch is pushed down, like the turn signal flasher cycling, and I can force it to make the noise when I cycle the lights from bright to low and vice-versa. It also makes the noise a lot more often when the brights are on. There is a wire jury-rigged into the fuse box on the fuse side that leads under the center console, but I can't see where it goes from there. Fuse on the brakelights is fine, so is the hazard one.

Second problem: the speedometer doesn't work right. It reads my speed going 10mph when I am idling, and takes a while to come down to 0 after I have stopped. It also climbs if I rev the engine when I'm in neutral, and climbs when I am driving at one speed (usually around 40mph). Any thoughts?
