Tachometer not working

I turn the key on and the tach pegs all the way to the right.
It stays all the way to the right even after its running.

Probably a shorted board...

that video was a lifesaver. My tach now works perfect with its new board..... interestingly, the board I replaced was a replacement board...

Thanks for the help.

Crazy enough it was just stuck. The car sat for a few hours, then it went back to normal.

The replacement board may have been the imported board.. they are known to have issues.

Glad to be of help!
