Kennie B. Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Well, what did I do wrong? I had the dash out of my car to clean up the instrument's chrome rings and re-finish the vinyl. As such, I had to disconnect all the wiring. Upon reinstalling everything, it all works except for the tach. At idle it reads fine but stops advancing at 2000rpm. Did I mix up 2 wires or did disturbing the sender from its 50 year perch mess things up? Thanks, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverstude Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Did you disconnect the battery before removing the wiring? Of all things electrical under the dash, the tach sender is one of the most sensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh64 Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Mine was doing same thing ,stopping at 1900 , pulled out the tach (not easy )and the top bulb had fallen out of the holder , does your dash lights all illuminate properly ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
