tachometer light quit? stock tach

[frhrwa]

my tach light up and quit? there is no plug in lamp, there is no way to open the tach, anybody have a clue how to change or check the bulb? or, when the lamp goes out, toss it and buy a decent tach?

on my 83 CJ7 the tac has access on the back side , (not alot of room ) the plastic cover will come off as there is a screw right in the center (remove it ) and this should allow you to pull the tac out to access and change the bulb and you should be able to unplug everything once loose if I remember correctly , , I used a small scocket with a phillips head insert to remove mine after I had put the dash back in as I did not want to pull the dash again , but its tight , someone can correct if I miss something but I think thats the way

mines different I guess, two screws to hold the mounting bracket, that's it.. unscrew them and the insides drop loose.. the black cover doesn't come off, its crimped onto the chrome faceplate on the front.. the bulb is just inaccessable.. chinese I guess?

if its a factory tach it should have a screw dead center in the back , maybe a picture would help us see what you got
