- I know someone with an Escort wagon that's been having an annoying little
- problem.
-
- The car runs quite well, and has an automatic transmission. It also has a
- tachometer.
-
- It's the tach that's driving them nuts. It works fine when you start it in
- the morning, and works fine indefinitely until you shut off the car, and
- leave it parked in the sun. Then, when you start the car again, the tach
- is dead.
-
- Apparently it works again only when the car has been parked in the shade.
- No other problems have manifested themselves.
-
- Anyone experience this before? Any solutions short of ripping the instrument
- cluster out and replacing it?
-
