Re: [DML] Tachometer wire

[Todd Nelson <tan5732@xxxxxxx>]

Dave,

I have just taken apart my hand brake to reconnect the lines to the handle 
and noticed that there is a ground wire bolted to the hand brake assembly. 
Maybe you have a weak connection at that ground and when you move the handle 
you are making a better connection.  Seems like a long-shot, but you never 
know.  You'll have to take off the carpet covering  over the hand brake to 
see the wire I'm talking about.  Besides that, the only other electrical 
component I can think of around that area is the switch for the hand brake 
warning light, you may want to see what affect that has on your tach, since 
that light is also in the dash that seems like a better possibility.

Good Luck,
Todd Nelson
