Hey fellas has anyone experienced a jumpy tachometer needle?
Its in my rodeo wich is an isuzu really, it goes up when i turn to the left and down when i turn right, so its affected by gravity somehow and most of the time sits about 2.5 regardless of actual rpm, its annoying me!

Sounds like the cable is loose

i had a poke around but couldnt figure out where the sensor is,

Want to swap ? mine is 500 rpm for engine tuning aND 1500 when I toot the horn . Ha ha

Electronic in a ln106 tho

Unless there's a known solution for the vehicle, my general advice would be to pull the cluster and re-solder all the connections on the daughterboard. Check for wires around the steering column that are pulling, pinching or rubbing.

my 80 series used to do that as well, then one day it just stopped working

speedo cable had snapped

The tacho was jumpy coz the speedo cable snapped ??
