Reply to "Tach died today"

Thanks for the reply Doug,

I'm decent at wiring and troubleshooting, but this car will test me abilities I think.

I'll check those things you mentioned, as you (and I) suspect, I doubt the tach itself just died out of the blue, it's a wiring or bad ground issue I'm sure.

I've already spent hours cleaning up the original fuse array, popped every fuse, cleaned, greased with dialectric grease, cleaned the whole fuse panel, and put it all back. I actually fixed the "no blinkers" problem, and the "no taillights" problem, the passenger headlight still has me baffled.

The headlights were modified using (I think) old Camaro low beam or back-up lights. Small, rectangle, and the headlight housings adjusted so they only opened up a couple inches, which looks way cooler. This however left the car with only low beams (no big deal, I don't plan on night driving very much anyways" but I DO need BOTH of those lights to work, one won't cut it.
I get voltage to the plug, checked and the light is good, I think it might be a bad ground issue. I'll figure it out soon enough.

Thanks for the tips.
