Why is my speedometer and tachometer not working?
If you measured 12V directly across the gauge terminals, I would tend to agree the gauge is the most likely culprit. Many times, marine gauges are exposed to moisture trapped internally as well, and the movement inside corrodes slightly, causing the moving parts to freeze up.
Is the speedo on my Tach still working?
Tach is fine but speedo isn’t working at all. Click to expand… Not the same exact part as mine. Yours has a different looking back with a different connector style. But I think the procedure would be the same and bet the inside circuit board looks the same.
Is the speedometer the same as the RPM gauge?
Gauge wiring is about as generic as a gallon of milk so the back of each gauge looks the same and has the same markings as the one next to it and the one next to it. The speedometer isn’t even an electrical device (except for paddle wheel driven instruments).
How do you connect a tachometer to a boat?
Connect the black tachometer wire to the black ground wire. Connect the yellow wire to your lighting wiring. Connect the remaining wire (usually green) from the tach to the wiring for the engine per your boat’s wiring scheme. Label each wire with masking tape and a permanent marker.

Why does my tachometer only measure 12V?
Also measure the voltage at the ground terminal of the gauge (to engine block), depending on how and where you were using to measure reference voltages. If you measured 12V directly across the gauge terminals, I would tend to agree the gauge is the most likely culprit.
What happens to the ground lead on a tachometer?
When either engine is running, the ground leads go from no resistance between the battery and the back of the gauge, to 200 ohms. Still checking what’s adding resistance when the engines run.
How much does a Sea Doo tachometer cost?
The tachs run $360ish new. Even used, either of these guages fetch $150ish with faded needles and scratches. Hopefully more people can learn of this incredibly easy fix and not spend a dime. Thanks for the post.
What to do if your speedometer stops working?
My speedometer hasn’t worked for probably 2 years. The dealer wanted over $500 to fix. I found the stepper motors on e-bay and purchased replacement lights as well. It takes a good soldering iron and a solder sucker tool you can buy at Radio Shack.
What should I do if my gauges quit working?
The alt wasn’t charging. No tac and no speedometer. The Lights work fine, The odometer is still rollin over, cruise control works, Gear selection indicator read out works fine.. Any ideas? I haven’t dug too far yet, I didn’t have time today (monday) but I have Tuesday off so i was gonna start snooping around.
Are there Trans temp gauges on GM trucks?
If you were to get a Escalade Dash Cluster,which has the Transmission Temp gauge.The only item that needs to be done, is to have the Mileage programmed into the Escalade Cluster……the 99′ and up NBS Siverado’s/Sierra’s Were-n-Are Already Pre-Wired from the Factory for the Trans Temp Gauge.
Why are all the gauges on my GM Truck not working?
Last night I was comin home from the store and realized my speedometer wasn’t working (ins’t the first time) so i hit the dash, then realized NONE of the gauges were working.. Gas gauge, almost empty. Water temp, cold. No oil pressure. The alt wasn’t charging. No tac and no speedometer.
