Lucky me.. I am one of the few who has an tachometer on my instrument cluster... since I have a GXE.....
but...today I had to change some of the bulbs, so I had to remove the entire cluster....
I changed 2 bulbs.... the speedometer and tachometer. After that i re-installed my cluster and realized, that for some reason my Fuel Light was always glowing, even though i had a full tank of gas.
Then I started up my car, and I realized that my Tachometer doesn't work anymore! So I tried driving it around the block, and when i turned on my left blinker, my tachometer would jump up and down. Meaning that the higher RPM's i am running the higher the needle will bounce back and forth to indicate that my turn signal is on. But when I don't use my turn signal the tachometer doesn't work.
Also my left blinker does't blink anymore only my right one works, even when I turn on my hazards, only the right arrow lights up.
So I went to junkyard and got another cluster, and I tried plugging it in, and the same thing happened, so something must be wrong with the wiring.
but now.. damn.. today I had to change some of the bulbs and I had to remove the entire cluster....
I changed 2 bulbs.... speedometer and tachometer, and when I hooked the cluster back up, for some reason the Gas guage is always lit... and I have a full tank of gas.
Also my left blinker does't blink anymore and when I turn on my hazards only the right blinks. I checked the bulb and it's fine.
but here is my HUGE problem... my tachometer doesn't work!
One minute it worked.. i took out the cluster and plugged it back in.. and nothing, doesn't move at all. Anyone know what I could of done?
That sounds like an electrical problem.... did you put all the connectors back in the right place? or maybe there's a short somewhere.... check the cables for cracking or loose ends...
I bought a new cluster today from a junkyard... and still the same thing.
The Tachometer doesn't work, and the left turn signal doesn't light up on the cluster. But here is what's weird, when i turn on my left turn signal, the tachometer jumps up and down.
So instead of a light lighting up, the tach needle moves up an down about 1 inch or so.
2 clusters .. something must be wrong with the wiring

Yep... something's wrong with the wiring... the funny thing is it was working before... did you double-checked everything again to make sure all is plugged where it suppose to be?
Now I realize that this sucks for you but what your describing happening sounds hilarious. Guages doing whatever the hell they please lights going on and off, could you film it?
