Dodge omni tachometer

therustyspoon6 · #1 06-17-2009, 12:46 AM

Hey everyone! I am the owner of a 1989 Dodge Omni. The tachometer has gone dead (it doesn't work and needle has fallen straight down) and I'm trying to find the problem. Could anyone give me some information regarding the wiring of the tach, like where the signal is generated and what color wire I'm looking for?

I've torn the intrument cluster out and located two wiring harnesses in the back but I can't remove them. there are a number of different colored wires. Does anyone happen to know which one leads to the tach?

Thanks

The common problem is the solders in the tach module. just re-solder.

I see...where does the soldering usually go bad? on the wiring harnesses?

Thanks again

It's a board, not a harness.
