My tach has stopped working properly. It either reads o or 1000rpm no matter how fast I’m going. Dealer suggests circuit board in the instrument cluster for big bucks. I can get a used cluster complete for $75. Anybody know if a good mechanic could swap out the circuit boards from the used cluster? Thanks ---

Possibly, but it would be easier to just swap the whole cluster. ---

I’ve had speedometers and tachometers repaired by a local speedometer shop. Check your local phone book and see if there is a similar shop in your area. Of course, I pulled the units out of the dashboard myself, saving lots of labor. If you simply drop the car off somewhere it could be expensive.
