How To: Fix Nissan S14 240SX Tachometer 

Chase I've just fixed my rev counter using what you said in this video. Can't thank you enough, the world needs more people like you!

You're a legend! Perfect instructions, though all the pins didn't need soldering. I soldered the four joints behind the rev counter. There was no real difference in resistance or inductance and it did not work. I then soldered the pins of the screw mounting brackets on each corner and amazingly it worked! I did have to remove the dial to reset its position after the first start and corrected it whilst idling fully warm. But great to see it all in good order. Big thanks!!

Thanks mate. 2022 and this clip is still helping people. tacho fixed exactly how chase showed in the clip.

Thanks, fixed! Guys make sure to check the screws at the back of the rev gauge as well. I notice mine were all loose. Tightened them up, could've also been the issue.

thank you so much Mr Chase Smotherman, it really works on my nissan sentra 99. it saves me thousand of pesos for the replacement kit.thanks again sir...

You are a legend, fixed my terrano! didnt end up doing the chip but everything else, and presto back in action, thanks without end ;)

awesome video! I didn't even think about your solution!!! worked like a charm on my Nissan pathfinder.. and to think I was about to buy a new gauge!!... thank you!!!!!

My tach currently has this issue will work on it soon. Thanks for the upload

Did this today and it worked out for my 98 240sx.

Thank you for this video. I own a 1996 Nissan Almera with the same problem, and nobody can repair it yet.

Awesome vid. Super good and detailed explanations!

Seems like a common problem on Nissan's of this vintage. My Sentra had the same issue with the Speedo. Cold solder joints (or solder fatigue) ~130K miles. It would make sense to do both your speedo & tach while you have everything out. Thanks and take care,

I am going to try this on my Frieghtliner FL80. Thanks for the video. Axe

Hello from Russia 🤟🏽 and thank u so much! It really helps me alot🥳

I like .. good information

Great video. Thanks for the post!

awesome vid man! ima try this soon on my s14. hope it works!

Nice video ,just did mine, an it actually works 😁😎

very informative video, great help... keep it up

Good video and explaination.

Well done mate

alot mercury villager had these issue too, we had the 1999 , stick at 1000 rpm, when you rev, it moves slightly

Awesome! You are the best! It worked perfectly! Thank you so much... Please i have a question how can know the right position to put the needle? Because mine starts at 2.5 rpms i dont think is normal to start at those rpms

Hi help me My tacho is dead when I try to start with third battery and the generator fuze 60 is cut then I replaced the fuse and the cluster. But unfortunately is dead again that cost my alot of mony lm bankrupt with dead tacho.. My truck is hyundai65 No mcu on it .. Is the convertor 12v for radio cause thes or ETACS....THNKS sorry for my bad English

I have a simular problem with the rev counter on my 2005 Hyundai Elantra. The needle remains at zero. My problem is that I don't know how to remove the instrument cluster. You don't perhaps have a video that shows how it is done?

Worked mate cheers!!!🍻🍻🍻

my tach sits at 0 when I turn it on and once I give it some gas it starts to rise, but its never right. Will try this out and leave some feedback.

For the life of me I couldn't get either light dimmer or cruise control clips out. Now I don't really need neither. Would it be an issue if I just snipped one of them to get at the cluster? Thanks

😍😍😍 good job man

Is that an S14a cluster in an S14? The steering wheel looks like from the pre-facelift

Is it normal for the rpm needle to be all the way to 8 when removing the cluster

Can you pleeaasseee make a video on how to fix the s14 clock?

good day sir,ive converted my cluster gauge from without tachometer to with a tachometer one,I cant make the tachometer to work,I connected the tach terminal to the negative side of ignition coil,what could be the problem?thanks

hi, i have the same problem with my tachometer. I didnt get what did you do to solve the problem?

How exactly do you remelt the solder, sorry for dumb question

Hi, can you run the original dashboard tachometer on a Nissan S14 Kouki with a rb25det engine? can you guide me how? Thank you.

Fucking interior looks pristine.

Me try it and it work

I know this might be a dumb question and you’re probably not going to reply but it’d be great if you could. My s14 has the same problem and I was just wondering what you meant by remelting the solder? Thanks

Do you think this will work on my 1980 Saab 99?

My problem is that the tachometer needle is moving freely with no tension

hey brother so I just pulled the cluster out so that I can turn the airbag light off for saftey. I noticed that one of the 4 screws are missing for the tach. it's labeled airbag next to it. if I replace the screw do you think it will turn the light off

Thanks man, my car was the same... also the fuel gauge is acting funny, it marks full when adding a little fuel

Was this from a zenki or kouki?

I always replace all the bulbs when I take one of these apart.

will this also fix the speed too?

Song name please?

i love you

dont play your music when making a help video
