I did the little mod where you use transparent paint to change the colors on your gauges. That's all done and I'm re-installing everything. I got it all hooked up to make sure everything works and my tach isnt. It appears that everything else is working fine, but when I start it, my RPMs dont change nor when I rev. the motor. Someone please HELP!!!!

 

Did you push the needle back on to tight...

 

i dont think i did. I even took it off and held a really bright light up to it to see if the little thing the needle pushed onto was moving and no go.

 

how did you remove the needles and get them back in the right spot?

did you put it on the needle on the wrong side of the pin?

 

ill go recheck everything again. Keep coming with the suggestions tho.

 

did you short anything out?

check your fuses?

are all 3 of the plugs plugged into the back of the cluster?

is everyhting plugged in? as far as electrical that you may have unplugged

 

The tach signal should be the tan/yellow wire on the 16-pin connector that goes to the cluster. Might want to check the cluster side of that connector for damage...and the rest of that flimsy excuse for a circuit board as well. My vote is the needle, though. I had the speedo needle off when swapping the speedo/odo guts and its a pain to get it back on right.

 

dont know what the prob. was went back out tried it agian, all cool. Just one of those things where you need to walk away and take a break. Man, does that cluster look SWEET now. I love how it turned out. Thanks for trying to help guys.

 

gotta do it man...lets see how awesome it looks!!! especially since there are a bunch of us out there not brave enough to tackle that mod!!!
