Aftermarket tachometer doesn't work when installed

Hello all,
I bought a aliexpress tachometer for my charade because it was cheap and i thought why not.
before i installed it i tested it by hooking it up directly and it worked. after i had installed it it stopped working. checked all the wires and they were all connected correctly. so i removed it and tried it directly again and it worked. neither me or my boss could figure out why and he’s been a mechanic for 40+ years
if anyone knows what my issue could be, please do let me know
thanks in advance.

In which wire did you hook the signal cable on?

one of the wires that goes to the ignion coil. i checked it with a light and it flashed faster with more rpm and when i check it at the gauge it still flashes.
