Reply to "Tach died today"

Well, Snow White definitely has a Gremlin. I'm going to name him jorge.

Last night, Jorge decided to screw with the tachometer, which still is not working.

I took a couple drives today, only to notice now all the original gauges (amps, fuel, oil pressure) have also been shut off by Jorge.

Now, I know Snow White was already kind of a wild girl, living with all those dwarfs, and I went into this relationship knowing this about her, and fully accept and love her, but GREMLINS?? No Way!! Did you see tha movie? crazy little things, feed'em after midnight and they take over the town, NO WAY.

I'm officially on the hunt for Jorge the Gremlin!

Upon starting the car to come home a few mintues ago, the gauges all sprang to life for 10 seconds, and then died again.

According to the kick panel fuse list, the gauges and maybe the tach are controlled by fuse #12. SO, I just popped #12 out, noticed the tabs had very little tensions holding the fuse in place (fuse spun VERY easily) so I bent the tabs, replaced the fuse which fit much more tightly now.

I just turned the ignition to "on" and the gauges all turned on, but i didn't start or drive the car, I'm done for today. So HOPEFULLY this was just a loose fuse issue, and then I'm back to fixing the last two things, (tach and passenger side headlight), and I've got my eyes peeled and my 1911 ready for Jorge the Gremlin though, he's got to go!

The dwarfs are gone now, it's just me and Snow White, getting to know each other, starting this beautiful new relationship. I'm taking it slow, I'm a gentleman, it'll be 2 weeks before I get her on a lift and I get my first "upskirt views", soon we'll go "all the way" but I'm gonna wait til she's ready, not push anything. She'll give it up when she's ready. lol
