I was trying to fix the reverse lights that weren't working, so I started checking fuses. I got reverse lights fixed but now the speedo isnt working at all and the gas gauge is moving up and down and the airbag light is on. I seem to have wierd electrical issues with this car for whatever reason. It seems that lightbulbs don't last very long either.

any other blown fuses? Go back where you were working and see if something was accidentally knocked off or something of that nature
