NVU Tachometer running backwards
I recently purchased the New Vintage USA Retro guauge cluster from LMC Truck. The installation was super easy and everything was working great for theee weeks or so. Then I noticed the my needle was slightly running backwards and then doing the full sweep on start-up. Because of this my needle is now sitting a 6000 RPMs and continues to go backwards. Please look at the picture and tell me what you think I should do. Or how to fix it.
Thanks for your help. |

Re: NVU Tachometer running backwards
Check your connections, make sure no wires were abraded/exposed and now grounding out - if all looks correct, call the mfgr.
Out of curiosity, what gauge do you have in the center opening? Their fuel gauge? Would like to see the whole dash. |

The fuel gauge is on the bottom with the oil pressure. The center is where my high beam indicator and check engine lights are. |

Re: NVU Tachometer running backwards
Nice looking set up! Somewhere inside that tachometer is a capacitor crying for its mommy.

Re: NVU Tachometer running backwards
Contact NVU to see if they will repair. I really got my gauges shipped to me and the speedometer needle was knocked off in shipping. I contacted them and shipped them my speedo and they took care of the issue quickly.
I think I'll like them.

Re: NVU Tachometer running backwards
If they shipped it FEDEX Ground, I'm surprised it wasn't broken in half. I hope that FEDEX has a web crawler that looks at posts on the internet about their brutal delivery guys, but I'm betting that they don't care, what with all the cash flow.

Re: NVU Tachometer running backwards
Man, that looks even better in the dark! That's a factory fix, for electronics.

Re: NVU Tachometer running backwards
You have a programming button for that gauge, I am guessing. Be sure that it is set for 6 or 8 cylinders, whichever is correct.
I have a set of NVU gauges in my squarebody, the instructions are surprisingly lousy, particularly when it comes to programming.
