hi,

i have a brand new 07 tC automatic and i noticed today that my tacho isnt working. i swear it was the other day however.

anyone know how to fix?

thanks

 

Since it is an 07, I'd say just take it in under warranty.

 

So what did you do to it? LED swap or something? Pull the gauge cluster for any reason?

If that's no and no... you should just take it to the dealer and see what they say. No one here will be able to do anything.

 

^^yep...unless you've modded of course

 

it has a salvage title due theft/recovery so no warranty. i have done no mods at all to the car. i saw it working yesterday and it wasnt today.

i'm just gonna have to take it to the dealer when i get some cash and get it fixed.

thanks anyway guys.

 

New cluster should run about $300 or so, plus the programming.

What color are the gauges? If they are not amber, then they have been worked on. If that is the case I can probably tell you what to check on them, or check it for you to see if it is fixable before shelling out a lot of dough on a new one.

Also, is the mileage still incrementing?

 

yes they are the amber gauges. the mileage is still climbing up and up.

 

If you wanted to live without it for a few days, you could send it my way. I could try to do some testing to let you know what is wrong. For a little troubleshooting I dont typically charge anything. If it takes something larger to fix it, I always let people know before I do anything so you can decide on whether to try fixing it or not. Shouldnt take me long to determine if it is easilly fixable.

Just an option.

 

u can try to reset the ecu, an cheap way to do so is disconnect the negative and positive battery terminals and take them and touch them together for a couple of seconds, on sum cars it discharges the ecu caps and resets the comp make sure u disconnect the leads from the battery before u do this sumtimes it works, other times it doesnt

 

i've been keeping an eye on it and it works sometimes. like maybe 1 out of 5 times it will work fine. so very strange, i can't live without it sorry otherwise i would take up your offer.

 

yeah.. unless you've modded it lol
