Tacho Showing Over 9000?!

[crankyfrank118]

My Tacho is constantly stuck over 9000 with no movement. Once the car has warmed up maybe after 15mins of driving it then starts bouncing around like a mad man. Could this be anything different than what was described above?? Cheers

thats similar to mine, tried to replace the resistor and solder anything else up and it still didnt work, gave up and bought a second hand cluster and swapped out the tachos, now its all good, i guess depending how long this one lasts for...

when this fails im just gonna go aftermarket

How hard is it to swap to an aftermarket one? Id rather just do that really

i havent really looked into it so you might have to look around but id assume it would be like any aftermarket gauge, power and ground for lights and i guess tap into somewhere for the revs, im pretty sure there's a few pages on here about it

(i wanted to keep the tacho working cause its big and in a good spot)
