the gray knight Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 After leaving the ignition key on for 36 hours (long story - don't ask, please), my tachometer needle now is pegged at about "5:30" and does not work. I have recharged the battery and verified the alternator is OK. I have removed the cluster but thought I'd seek some feedback before I pull the tachometer. Would leaving the ignition on permanently damage the tach? My sources say this cluster is interchangeable with 86-88 Cieras. Only thing available to me locally is a 1990. Any repair advice? Anyone got a cluster if that's the only alternative...?
the gray knight Posted November 12, 2006 Author Posted November 12, 2006 turns out I re-installed the tach and it now works! Voltage surge? Still curious why it happened.Will keep this on my personal list of life's little mysteries.....
