1993 Geo Tracker Tachometer Issue

[fixkick]

the tacho is a very simple device.
it  hasa  real meter there, 
To Peter: (no year car?)
and a PCB that has some transistors.
and some caps,  the caps do no last."round can shape electrolytic polarized caps"

suzuki does not sell these old parts now (meters or the whole cluster.)
only parts you can find now are on ebay. (discontinued parts)

change out the caps. is one cure. and......
the TACHOMETER AS REAR screws that can fall out or be loose and if did the tachometer is now dead.
I you look close the PCB traces use the tacho screws to make the connection so must connect, clean.
same screws or copper PCB pads love to rust and corrode this old for sure driving with top down or front class broken, ever. (in the rain)



PS
the needles do press on, and if you do hank them off, the meter calibration is now gone, (actually far worse)
