Default Alarm install screwed up my cluster!

Got an alarm installed (and removed). As soon as the install was done my tach wouldn't work and my oil, washer, and tail light warning lights came on. Of course the shop is denying any responsibility so I'm stuck fixing it. All fuses and connectors look good. Every once in awhile the tach kicks on and the lights go out for a few seconds. Any ideas?

sounds like loose wire/plug.

did they try to do remote start? is that why they mess with the tach?
