1G Factory Tach doesn't work after removed cluster!

[turbotsi92]

I removed my entire gauge cluster and dash to remove all of my heating equipment. I put the dash and the cluster all back in, and now my tach doesn't work. All the other gauges work fine except the tack. I took the cluster back out and tried to plug it back in a few times, but i have nothing. I was very careful about removing everything (didn't pull or tear any wires). Since those clusters just plug in is it possible something in the cluster itself went bad, or what?

Check all your fuses just to make sure there's nothing wrong with any of them. If all your wiring is set-up right and none of the wires are faulty then I don't see what else it could be unless there's something wrong with the tach gauge itself.

I checked the fuses, they are all good. Thanks though

Be sure that all of the screws in the back of the gauge cluster are making a good solid connection to the circut board.

Yes. ^^^

It needs to be making good contact.

Did you find out what was wrong?

Uh, FYI. the members thread is 16 years old. Just look at the date on the threads before posting, as I know you are new. It is an honest mistake. I would be blown away if the member DOES answer.
Anyway, just pointing it out.
Happy DSMing!

And if you click on the members name it will tell you the last time they were here. If it's been awhile you can guess how likely it is that they will answer.

Perhaps that's because this isn't a common problem and in the few cases it's often due to something other than the cluster.

Open a new thread, describe in detail the symptoms, behavour, and what you're done to diagnose the issue.
