Re: [DML] RPM gauge stopped working - need advice to fix

["sweetp01569" <paul.sweet@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My gauge is positioned at about 3000 rpms before I put the key in 
the ignition. When I engage the key (before turning over), the gauge 
reads at 1000, and stays there when I start the engine.  When I shut 
off the car and pull the key, the needle returns back to 3000.  Any 
ideas?  Still sound like a connection, or is it a bad gauge?

Thanks,

Paul
