donbryce Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 the tach gauge doesnt move, any suggestions why? No signal from the ignitor, or whatever it's called that it gets it's pulse from, or as in my case, a problem in the cluster itself. I just got the car 3 days ago (93 es300) from a family that had a high school student 'practising' his auto skills by trying to change the cluster backlight bulbs. In the re-assembly process, he forgot 1 of the 3 screws that looks like they just hold he circuit board to the housing. Actually, they are also electrical contacts, the missing 1 was for the tach. I luckily had a same size screw on hand, which brought it back to life. You might check this, a loose screw, especially if anyone has messed with the circuit board in the cluster. Do a search on instrument needle replacement here, several good how-to's on disassembly/reassembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
