The first step is to check the wiring to the RPM gauge. Make sure that all of the connections are tight and that there is no damage to the wires. If you find any loose or damaged wires, repair or replace them as necessary.
2. Test the RPM sensor
The RPM sensor is responsible for sending a signal to the RPM gauge. If the sensor is faulty, it will not be able to send a signal to the gauge and the gauge will not work. To test the RPM sensor, disconnect the sensor from the engine and use a multimeter to check the resistance between the terminals. The resistance should be between 200 and 300 ohms. If the resistance is not within this range, the sensor is faulty and needs to be replaced.
3. Replace the RPM gauge
If the wiring and RPM sensor are both in good condition, then the problem may be with the RPM gauge itself. To replace the RPM gauge, remove the instrument cluster from the dashboard and disconnect the electrical connectors. Then, remove the old gauge from the cluster and install the new gauge. Finally, reconnect the electrical connectors and reinstall the instrument cluster.
