Speedometer / Wiring Troubles

I'm having problems with the speedometer (among other things) with my 1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. One day while driving, it just went dead and then I heard a "clicking" sound coming from the glove box. The clicking sound turned out to be a breaker? (it's not a fuse - it apears to be a breaker or relay - same shape as a fuse) in the fuse block. Apperantly there is a short somewhere causing this breaker to click on and off. It's still happening. It is breaker # 10 labeled INDIC and it controls these items: (Rear Defogger Timer Relay; Instrument Cluster; Chime Module; Cruise Control; DRL Module (Canada); Lamp Driver Module; ABS Lamp Driver)
I have also noticed that the following items quit working: (The "autolock" when you place the car in gear; The fog light indicator (the fog lights work, just the indicator light); and Cruise control) The strange thing is that the rest of the insturment cluster works!
I have traced wires for 2 days and unplugged anything that I can think of to see if the breaker will quit "clicking." No luck.
Anyone have any ideas?
