"sticky" tacho

Craigh · Post by **Craigh** » Sun Jul 18, 2004 10:43 pm

So the car has just started doing it. The tacho will sometimes refuse to budge off 0 for a little while until I drive it for a bit. Seems like it needs to warm up or something (I do leave it for a bit of a warm up before driving it, but even then, the tacho will sometimes not move until I actually get out on the road). All the other electrics work fine, just the tacho sticking.

Any ideas what I can look for to fix this?

thanks,
Craig

bad installation of the dials we sell on this site can do that... have you had your instrument cluster apart??? if you have you may have pushed in the tacho dial and it is now sticking...

the other option is the motor is wearing out... you don't need to replace the whole cluster just the individual motor...

I haven't touched anything like that. Haven't replaced dials or the like, so possibly the motor. Do you know how much something like that would be to replace?
