2005 IUP Tach Failure
hey all,
I had my local ford ealer install me the IUP Mycolor cluster last thursday. Saturday i returned to my baby pony from a 2 hour movie to start her up and have my tach just go CRAZY!. I'll post pics later but it started ticketing (car still idleing normal) but the needle was reading 7100 RPMS! like its a sight to see my pony reading what looks to be 10,000 RPMS when comfortably crusing, i took her back yesturday and they read the OBDII and the code stated some sort of malfunction, after about an half hor of waiting they claled me and brought my car around, i hopped in the driver seat in hopes of seeing her back to the comfy 700-800 RPMS only to see the problem was not solved. I talk to the service advisor and they are going to call ford HQ today. I'm pretty sure it's the cluster but service said that because it wasnt stock on my car, although everything but the tach works and pluged right into eachother, he said ford might say that they dont support doing the aftermarket install and put my stock cluster back in. I am still yet to hear back from the dealer, anyone have any thoughts? is it unherd of for a tach to just....fail or malfunction?
