Tachometer not working???

Post by gabs »

The tachometer in my gpx just stays on 0 and does not move. I know this is a common problem with fto's and have heard the the fuse is usually the problem. Can I just replace it from the fuse box or does the dash need to be removed. Anyone know if i can reset/reboot it to get it working again? any ideas?
Thanks Gaby

Possibly the IFS... I don't believe the tacho has it's own fuse, instead its one that covers all (most) of the instrument cluster. So basically the IFS is your best bet.
