Dsh Lights & Tacho Not Working

[4drlvr]

Hi Guys and Gals

Not sure if im meant to be posting this here but here goes anyway.

Ive got a r33 gtst and all of a sudden my tacho has just gone wacko..lol in other words the rpm guage just waves around not picking the correct rpm. Sometimes it doesnt moves and sometimes it sits way past the red line on the end of the numbers (after 9k).

When i tap the dash it jumps and sometimes picks the correct rpms and sometimes doesnt do anything all.

I dont know if this is co-incidence or not but my climate control unit dash buld wernt working either. I tapped the dash and they came on. I tapped it again and it went off.

All this was done when the car was running and for the climate control lights the headlights were on.

Is there anything i should be checking to see why the rpm guarge is acting weird, i tried the DIY on the dash cluster but i couldnt find what it was stating.

The bulbs in the climate control are not fused and none of the relays or fuses are blown.

Any help appreciated.

When i was installing my gauge cluster there was a little warning saying that if the stalk is too deep or too shallow it will either not work at all or work sporadically, maybe try that out.

Probably best taking it to an auto electrician though, if it was me id rather pay a little extra to have it sorted first go then try a DIY, bugger it then have to pay more to fix it, unless of course someone posts with an easy answer
