Default Tachometer not working on my 1jz sc300

Tach was working fine before until recently (it might have been due to me jumping my cars and switching the wires - yes I am an idiot ).

It is an sc300 with an auto 1jz swap. I did not do the swap so any help with this problem would be much appreciated. Pics and detailed steps would be super helpful. Thanks!

Technical solution.....slap the top of the dash above the cluster.....the tachs love to stick in our cars.

I'll try that, but that's odd as I also have a apexi avc-r boost controller that stopped working as well. I'm thinking it might be something else?

Maybe the resistor that was wired in to fix the tach issues got damaged when you switched wires?
