[QUOTE="MalayCooper, post: 662186, member: 19132"] Instrument Cluster DIY My Tachometer has not been working since 2003 and it irritates me everytime i drive a manual car especially a free revving BMW straight six... so... Took out the RPM meter... [IMG]http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg163/MalayCooper/IMG-20130209-WA0008_zpse386eff5.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg163/MalayCooper/IMG-20130209-WA0006_zps4aa697e3.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg163/MalayCooper/IMG-20130209-WA0000_zpsb2e18981.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg163/MalayCooper/IMG-20130209-WA0001_zps708b14c6.jpg[/IMG] Was hoping that some electrical connection was broken or some soldering parts came off... but sadly all was present and in good nick. So the RPM meter itself is broken, possibly the previous owner/mechanic toast the IC board or something... :( I could only cleaned everything and put everything back together... still no tacho :( Syed PS: Father in law helped with the "electrical" parts, im ok with mechanical but sucks in all electronic things hehe.
