Taps are notoriously unreliable. I used them on a previous car for a backup camera installation and after a few months the camera would sometimes work and sometimes not. I removed the taps and soldered the wires and never had a problem after that. The wires should not be cut in half after removing the taps, they are only designed to nick the edge of the wire... which is why they tend to make such a poor connection to begin with. So to answer your question, get rid of the taps and solder the wires, then heat shrink or at least e-tape over the solder.
