Ever since I bought this 1999 Spyder, the tachometer hasnt worked. Figured it might just be a defective cluster so went ahead and replaced it with a couple different ones: One from another 2g spyder, a 95 talon tsi, and a random cluster from another DSM, all of the functions worked except for the tach. So next I looked into wiring. I took off the dash, and tested the (white) tach wire from the module on the intake manifold all the way up to the cluster and visually inspected the wire, all of it was intact and putting out a signal.
So as a test, I ordered a $30ish tach off ebay and tapped into the tach wire and.. tada! A signal! But its not really the most appealing thing to look at while driving, if theres a way to fix the original tachometer I would much rather do that. Is there anyone who has any ideas about what could be keeping the gauge from putting out rpms?
