nope. Your shift light has an adjustment knob, right? If the tach is working as it should, but the shift light stays on all the time, than I would assume that it has something to do with the potentiometer that the adjustment knob runs to. Have you tried pulling it apart, and spraying some electrical cleaner on the pot? (the piece that the knob connects to).
Mine would do this occasionally, and if I just moved the knob back and forth a couple of times, it would start working again. Dirty contacts were the culprit. Good luck. |

A new tach is doing this? And the replacement tach is doing the same thing? Me thinks something is 'special' about this tach. Did it come with any instructions? Most tachs come with 'jumpers' or 'dip switches' that allow you to change the tach to read 4,6,or 8 cylinders by cutting jumpers, or changing the dip switches. Did you follow those procedures?
Surely it has a wiring schematic. What is the brand name and model of the tach? |
