My experience
The needle bouncing when my blinkers were on, or while putting a load such as a window or power lock on, was fixed by cleaning up the ground from the battery to the body.
The speedo going out when it was wet, was cured by cleaning up the plug, filling the connection with dielectric grease, and sealing the wires into the plug.

So far, my speedo is rock steady,.

Cleaning up the ground from the external regulator helped with the lights pulsing, FYI

Good luck
