Default raptor shift light problem

I did the raptor shifter light install today, did everything correctly according to installuniversity. Ran the tach wire from the #10 wire from PCM, used the screw underneat glove box for ground and power from the pink wire on TCS. Thing is, I cant get it to show any signs of life in the light! Put it all to the correct settings (4cyl. mode) and set the RPM's low (3000rpm) so I could see if it worked driving around the block. However, it wont blink when I turn on the ignition, change any settings, or when I hit 3000 rpms driving. Any ideas? The car is a 2001 camaro. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Either the ground is insufficient, or it's not getting any power from the tapped wire. How did you tap into the power wire from the TCS control?

I used one of those plastic wire taps.

Now I have a whole new stew of problems. Messing with the wires I accidentally crossed the tach wire with the ground wire (i think..) and i heard something burn up and could instantly smell it. Car wont start now but all the lights and electronics work. What the f**k? Did i short out the ignition (hopefully not..)??
