S14 Rev Gauge Problem
Posted: Tue Jun 25, 2013 9:52 pm
Not sure if any of you had this problem before but my rev gauge suddenly stopped working. It slowly picks up as you drive over time and when it hits the mark where no rev counter should go it bounces back to 0 and starts over.
I've had an auto electrician check the wires that goes to the gauge and they are all fine(he even picked up the pulses that goes to the gauge that should make it move), I've opened it(the speedo cluster) up and and cleaned the contacts etc. I've read online that sometimes the solder goes dry and resoldering the dry points will work but my gauge does not look the same at the back.
Any other ideas of what to troubleshoot would help, I dont want to buy a new gauge and then it's not the problem.
