When reassembling my dash for the same job (amongst other stuff) I
didn't put the plug to the instrument cluster on properly. I had
similar goofy electrical behaviour.

I second the vote of checking those connections.

And although unlikely, check connections to your fuse panel and make
sure the relays are seated properly. It's worth inspecting the
connections anyway. :)
