My tachometer was working fine and now for the past few weeks it doesn't work at all. Is there something that may have made this happen or something I can test or check to make it start working again?

Thank you!

First check to see if the needle is on the back side of the stop pin. If not, check for loose connector pins on the back of the instrument cluster.
