Tach problem
Hi,I am trying to fix my tach here's whats happening,the tach lights up but displays 00 when running,when I first start it the display will read 27 for a second then goes to 00,I am trying to check the white wire from dist. to filter got a reading of .12@idle on the 2000m scale on my digitalVM at the filter I could not get a reading from the other side no room,can anyone steer me in the right direction,can the filter cause the tach to read 00 ?I took the brown connector apart and cleaned it no help. I also have the intermitten dash problem dark with both signal lights& high beam light on.Thanks for any help

2nd 1st. A dark dash with the high beam indicators illuminated is usually a ground problem and is very common with the digital dash. You can do a Search on this Forum to find links on ways to fix it.
If the tach wire is disconnected from the filter, you'll get a 00 reading.
I just had to same problem and soldering the wire back in place cured it in my case.

The wire is connected on both sides,Anyone know if they do go bad?How to check? 
I have done the search on the dash, I have not got it fixed yet,I have to get it up in the air to check ground on frame&bellhousing,it only does it once in a while but the tach never works.
