I've got a 93 Nissan NX 2000 and am brand new to these forums. My motivation to register and post a msg is due to a problem I'm having with my tachometer.

Currently, it doesn't work. Some of the time it either shows: proper RPM reading, no reading at all, or it bounces around erratically.

The dealer wants to charge me something insane like $80 an hour to "try" to diagnose it. i'm turning to this forum so maybe there is some insight on why this is happening.

I have recently replaced the starter and the battery if that gives anyone any insight here.

Help! :(

Try the General Section or search with the "Search Button" to see if someone else had this problem. It may be cheaper to get a used cluster rather than to fix it.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I suspect it's not a problem with the cluster itself.. I would have thought a more likely cause was something outside the cluster?
