The Tach on my 2006 started behaving erratically and/or not working at all. Any ideas? And I don't want any guff from the old timers

Probably the stepper motor in the gauge cluster. If it was fluttering around at any point, odds are that's the case. Fairly common if I'm not mistaken. You'll have to get the stepper replaced for the tach, and there are various companies out there capable of doing that. Not sure how difficult it would be to do it yourself.

Jesus.......you still breathing? Long time Ben. Thought maybe you did a TwinSticks.

Well the tach worked like a-charm today. I hate electric gremlins. Thanks for the info on the possible cause.

And Russ I m still nursing the old PW…I don’t know if I want to ask what happened to twinsticks I hope nothing bad.

Glad to see you are still here. You still camping with the PW?

TwinSticks..........well, he traded his PW in for a Cheby Colorado ZR2 a while back. We gave him some flack about it. Then he just vanished.

Yep still have the pop up. I'll post some stuff in the Camping thread.

Just to follow up-I found this repair on UTube https://youtu.be/ufQ1t4eOwkM It seemed to make sense based on what my Tach was doing. It took an afternoon to do and the Tach is working again. I'll see if it holds up over time or if the Tach is still intermittent.
