Tacho Not Working

[a__s__c]

Hey, Just wondering if anyone can help. I bought an FTO GPX a few months back, which is probably the best purchase i have ever made. All is going well except from day one the tacho has never worked. I pulled it out to see if its a loose wire but there isnt really much you can fiddle with. The fuel light on the cluster also doesnt work as i have ran it down to 5 litres left in the tank and the light still hasnt come on, i have checked the globe and it is fine. Anyway just wanted to know if anyone knew where abouts i could get a new/second hand instrument cluster? I have had a browse on the net and can't find anything?!

Thanks for any help

In almost 90% certainty you will need a new cluster, someone else on the forums (dr_jones possibly?) is also looking for the same thing. Try wreckers... that's about all I can say, you'll need to ring around a fairbit.

In regards to the fuel light, how much petrol are you using? The FTO tank is 60litres, and the fuel light comes on at aproximately 15 or so, this is often below the empty line on the gauge (mine touches the "E" before the light comes on).

u serious? no wonder my fuel tank light neva comes on. but thats probably becoz i start panicking and fuel up once the arrow is in the last section of the fuel thingy. [/b]

I'm the one with the tacho problem.

So far I've had the tacho tested...all fine.
An auto sparky test all the wiring...all fine.
An ECU specialist check the ECU...all fine.

They're now fine checking the wiring and circuits.

This is going to be the most expensive bloody tacho in history!

Found the problem, it's a faulty ignition sensor. $150 for a new one unless the Panel House can give a much better price for a second-hand one
