Default Help With Harlan Shift Light

I installed my Harlan shift light today. I love it, but thats besides the point of this post. The light is working flawlessly, but my stock tach is tempremental (sp). Sometimes it will work normally (ie RPMs rise as I accelerate), but other times it doesn't work at all (ie RPMs remain at zero regardless of my acceleration). I used a wire tap to tap into the tach wire and butt connectors to connect the shift light to the wires. I grounded to a screw that already had a ground on it. I got power by wrapping the wire around the 15 amp RADIO fuse in the bottom right corner of the interior fuse box. I just wrapped it around and plugged the fuse back in. Please help me here. Thanks.

Is your problem that the tach has gotten nuts after you installed the light? It's not real clear.

Yeah kind of. Sometimes it will work fine but other times it wont. Like I can be driving and it is working fine, and then it will stop working and go to zero and just sit there.
