Tacho not working on 99lx

Its a stock everything car and the tachometer isnt working right now, just bought the car today and its kind of annoying but im not too worried about it because its an automatic. It is throwing some kind of an engine code but i dont know what it is right now. Will update tomorrow with the code once i get a chance to get it. If you want any pictures let me know.

Re: Tacho not working on 99lx

Wonder if someone swapped the cluster and the car didn't come with a tech from the factory

Re: Tacho not working on 99lx

Still could have been swapped, mileage on the cluster seems to agree with the wear and year on the car?
Does it have remote start or an aftermarket alarm?

139000 miles on the cluster and the car itself is super clean. So it looks original but I don't know why the car wouldn't have come with a tach from the factory

Re: Tacho not working on 99lx

Some of the lower trim levels didn't come with tachs, I know I've seen it on some manual cars, can't remember if I've seen it on an auto

Re: Tacho not working on 99lx

So have you done any diagnosis work yet?
check for hacked up wiring, check that everything is plugged in on the cluster. There may be a cluster self test that you can do. Google it, not sure if there is one for the 6th gens. If the tach has just failed, then you just swap the cluster, $20 at the junkyard. You could get it repaired but it would be expensive

I haven't looked under the dash yet but the wiring in the engine bay looks good
