tachometer

Hello, So I have 3 guages that don't work like they used to. The first is the tachometer. Sometimes it reads really high and then drops to 0. Then sometimes it comes back from 0 to normal and sometimes does repeated drops to zero and then back up then back and forth between a reading and zero...

I figured I'd need one and never installed one before, so any help would be appreciated. Specifically, how would you wire it to your ignition coil negative wire if that's where it connects? and how does that look?

when i did the 4.0 swap i installed a 92 explorer engine harness and my truck is a 90 ranger so i left the dash harness in place. the connectors ended up being different and i tried a few things but nothing worked. as of the first time i ran my new motor, the tach did not work. i had oil...

I'm finishing up an engine swap from a 1988 Thunderbird Turbocoupe into my Ranger, it's a '91 that had the N/A 2.3 in there before the swap, so it has been mostly plug and play. After ironing out some fuel issues, it seems to start and idle fine now, but I found that the tachometer isn't working...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and I'm hoping for help with an ongoing problem. First off, the specs for my truck are 1994 Ford Ranger STX 4x4 4.0L V6 engine. The problem I've been having is tachometer going out or reading erratically along with some unusual engine noises/rough idle. When I...

my truck is a 94 2wd/5spd 2.3 standard cab. Just need to know what wires need to (or even can) be moved around in the plugs to be able to use an instrument cluster with a tach from a 1989 bronco ii (2wd MT with 2.9) It is not plug and play, despite appearing to be. I did keep the connectors...

Title says it .. I want to install a tach in my 1984... Is the Bronco II pre wired for a tach? What’s the easiest way to do this? Thanks

Okay, first post... here we go! :headbang: 1991 ford ranger, 2.3L, Custom edition. Stock Tachometer, part #F07F-10E853-DA N This model either came with a tachometer or it was added before I owned it but it's wired up correctly so that's not the question. I've been searching for days online and...

1991 3.0 XLT 5-speed; 268,000 miles. Bought the truck new; sold it to a friend and got it back recently. Now, the original tachometer is registering about 50% too high. When the engine is idling around 800 rpm, the tach is reading about 1300. Normal cruise at 2000 rpm is registering 3000...

So I just finished up swapping in a 4.0 and explorer dash, got pretty much everything working except this issue. turn on the headlights and the voltage meter pins to zero, the tach stops working, the turn signal lights turn on and stay solid, and the high beam light goes on with the low beams...

ok I searched threw the forums and technical info and couldn't find what I was looking for. The question is, doing the V8 swap on a 94 ranger. How difficult is it to get the stock 4.0 tach to work with the 5.0, or is this an impossible thing.

i have an 89 ranger it was originally a 2.3 4cyl till i swapped in a carbed 5.0 i was wondering how i could get the tachometer to read the rpms properly.:annoyed:

Hello I Have A 88 Ranger XLT 2.9L V-6 And I Was Wondering Why My Tach Doesn't Work. I Can Shift By Sound But Its More A Thing Of Being Able To See It Than Anything Else. Anyone Know What To Check For Or Do In Order To Fix This ? Also I Think My Speedo If Off But Thats Another Thing That I Cant...

Gonna have to replace my tachometer (truck has 199,250), but do not want to replace the original odometer, and not sure which years will interchange. I need the backside-mechanical-parts of the tachometer. Does anybody have one to sell/get rid of, so I can use the mechanism on the original...

I swapped out my bad cluster without tach with a good condition Sport Trac cluster with tach. Everything works without issue except for the tach. It will show proper idle rpms, but will not go above 2000 or so. I spoke with a mechanic and he stated that the tach needed a ground cable...
