Engine running, brake on, left turn signal on = 6.50 max
Engine running, brake on, right turn signal on = 6.89 max

These numbers all sound acceptable. Each tail light / turning light is about 1.5 A draw each.

That is probably the speedometer sensor wire.

The center console carpet is held in by a screw in the vicinity of the gas pedal. If you've removed the knee panel, remove the screw and the carpeting should be able to be removed.

It should have been to the right of the cruise control unit, they share a bracket.
