Hi all...anyone have experience troubleshooting and fixing the tach in their Maxima? In my case, the tach rests at about 2000 when I start the car up...and as I drive it bumps up higher in steps...until it reaches about 7 or 8000. When I shut the car off, it goes back to 0. I'm a new owner, I pick the car up tomorrow. The tach is the only problem I spotted when looking over the car. Thanks for any advice.

 

i had that problem right before i recently totaled the car week before christmas. Your also gonna notice that the miles on the odometer wont roll either. Though i noticed once in awhile the tach will out of nowhere work again. the tach will eventually not spring back to 0 if you let it go past the red. But then it will just catch out of nowhere and then the system works. I heard a few other peeps have the same problem. Only seen it in 95s which i have and 96s. I dont know what the problem is or how to correct it. I was gonna try and replace the cluster. Now that i dont have to you can persue the issue.

 

I picked the car up today and checked to see if the odometer does in fact work....it does....it still rolls over. But the tach still doesn't work properly.
Any ideas?

 

Beats me

 

So, this isn't a problem that a lot of people have had?

 

Bump....anyone?

 

Yup i had this problem. Exept mines would sometims creep, sometimes stay at idel. And if i dumped the clutch it would work for a second..lol


Just get a cluster of ebay or junkyard and change just the tach part it is pritty easy to do, just becare full if you have to change your needle.

Put up a wtb thread in parts and someone will have one for sale.


I got mines from jepht20. He might have more tachs

Pm me if yu got any other questions.
