SL33K Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Hey Guyz, This afternoon i had a weird problem with my tacho. When i turned on the ignition to the ON position, the tacho meter started fluctuating up and Down. Withouth even starting the engine. I Switched off and on again and the problem went away. Anyways, when driving in the city the problem came back and this time even when driving. when i was driving normal at about 2500RPM it was showing about 5000RPM. Has anyone experienced this? Any help will be appreciated. I recorded a bit of it while parked. Engine OFF. video here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQWx1lAMgF8 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/360840-weird-tacho-problem-need-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsYLoR Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Ive got that problem atm :S Only thing I can think of is possibly a loose or faulty wire somewhere.... maybe? Ive pulled out the cluster and tacho and completely pulled it apart looking for a bad solder or loose wiring but found nothing, have given the dash a hit which fixed it momentarily. lol But it has slowly started happening more often for me :S Other note... I have PFC with controller and it always shows the correct engine revs, even when the taco is going crazy. So for me its either the cluster itself or a wire between the ECU and cluster. I was going to buy a new cluster but I'm sure I read of someone with the same problem and a new cluster didn't fix it. I haven't been bothered to look at wiring as yet though, Anyway - I'd say its either bad wiring or the cluster. good luck.

But b4 buying a new cluster borrow one off someone to make sure it is the cluster.... This looks like a common problem these days Other note...

DJSimmo Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 bad / dry solder joint some where. I had a similar problem and took my cluster to a repairer in melb and cost me about $80 to get it fixed.
