Thumbs down I killed my electrical.....

While my truck was down and out, I figured hey, nows a good time to re-wires stuff. BAD IDEA!
I cut the wire that provides light power for the instruments. I then attached wires for the lights in my oil pressure, tranny temp, and tach, then reconnected everything together. Well, the lights work great. But the tach is only reading between 0-100rpm and it isent engine speed spacific. It just always vibrates like that now. Also my voltmeter, water temp and fuel gauge arent working now. Sterio still works great, and like I said before the lights are nice and bright. So, what exactly did I do? Its a green wire I spliced into if that helps....
