Tach just quit working...
What the hell. My tachometer stopped working out of the blue. Strange thing, my ambient temperature gauge stopped working too. I can't see how the two could be related. More importantly I like my tach working. Where's the pickup at to run the tach.

The nozzles on your hood are heated so you get a steady, strong windshield washer spray in freezing weather conditions.

its a good time to go and change out all the fuses blown or not. after so many years the contacts become corroded and cause intermittent failures. your car will thank you if you do..

Check the fuses. If your fuses check out could be something wrong with speedometer cable or the vdo unit.

It's my fuse. I've spun them in their contacts but after a couple days, lose contact again. I'll simply pull them out, lightly sand the contact points and use some terminal conditioner.
