hey all i have a 1995 180sx n today my tacho stoped working reason being i took the dash out to put in a shift light but didnt end up putting it in cause i didnt have the time so put it all back together n now my tacho dont work havent cut any wires or splised in to anything yet just unpluged it then pluged it back in. later tried my friends dash it came out of a s13 sr20de 1991 i think dont no if theres a differnce in them n the rpm gauge didnt work on that ether put a volt meter to the tacho wire n it read 3.9 is this normal or have i fried the pinout on my ecu by accident n dose this mean i got to get another computer i dont no any input would be great

ok i will try, changed the varable risistor to a 1k risistor, spliced one side in to wire otherside goes to ground. reason i did this was so that the risistance did not change, due to hot n cold weather and now i no the tacho is going to work all the time. :wink:
