You've got a bad ground at the instrument cluster - probably on the connector behind the tachometer. Disconnect both of the connectors that plug into the back of the cluster and examine the contacts - if they're not clean and shiny rub them with a pencil eraser (gently) to clean them off. When you plug them back in, be sure to plug them straight in (not at an angle) and press them in until the latches engage.
This seems to be a common problem although it doesn't get mentioned much here; I've had to fix this a couple of times myself.
