Where can I go to get a tach and speedometer fixed?

What's wrong with them?

Any auto shop in your area should be able to take a look at it or.....gasp.....dealer?

Not going to the dealer...

And ive already asked before and no one helped with the problem, so I didnt see why posting the problem AGAIN would resolve anything.

When I turn the key to "ACC" my tach and speedo needles jump to like 1k rpm / 2-mph as if they had power - so when I start the car, this is where the needles "zero" at so then the tach will read liek 2k rpm and obviously my speedo is way off. I took them out of the cluster and theres nothing obvious there I can fix.

Have you done any electrical wiring lately in the car?

Or did this just happen all of the sudden?

Lord Helmet

sounds like a electrical short some where.

sparq

nope not a short - my stock cluster works fine.

And no, havent touched anything electrical

94HybridEX

Are you positive all of your connections inside the cluster are good?

Ie., no worn connections, no bad grounds.

Ive traced the back, cleaned it - got no differance. Pulled each one semi apart to see if anything looked burnt, everything looks normal. Im guessing its in the actual "can" part of it, but why BOTH guages do this at the same time is beyond me. Its like theres power getting to them before it should be...
