Idiot lights stay on after cold start 200 1990

Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone might have an idea as to the cause of a recent problem with my car. When the car is cold most of the lights on my instrument cluster stay lit until I put the parking brake down and sometimes until I'm driving for a few minutes. The brake light, battery and oil and service light go on (the other lights might just have bad bulbs and thats why they don't come on) Also, after the lights go off the car idles higher and sounds better. It starts and runs fine. I recently replaced my speedometer and was fiddling with the cluster. Accidentially I hooked up the red/white wire after fiddling with the old speedo and burnt out the unit. The new speedo I got works fine, but the replacement might have something to do with my new problem. I've read the threads about wiring harness problems and voltage regulators, but still am uncertain as to the cause of this problem, and don't want to get stranded by the side of a snowy road. All ideas are greatly appreciated! Thanks, Mate (Upstate New York)
