Icon2 2004 civic automatic, tachometer spining in circles.

my lady friend just texted me with this problem. she said that her tach just spins in circles, im not sure if it spins at the same speed or the speed varies. I'd like to fix this for her, since the dealership is gonna be pricey.
im not sure if it needs a new cluster or what i dont know too much about this gen civic. anybody have any insight????

01-05 tachs have been known to failr. Probably just need to get a new one from a junkyard. shouldn't be that expensive

Sounds like the cluster is bad, but it wouldn't hurt to double-check. Use this DIY from the FAQ's to troubleshoot the cluster.
