Speedo and Tach problems

[Sky Soldier]

Most of the time, when I crank my rig, the tach does not work - at all. And sometimes, the speedo will not work. Right now the VSC TRAC light is on as is the VSC OFF light and the Check ENG LIGHT. What kind of problem is this? Is this a wiring problem or computer problem or a problem indicator?

Thanks for looking.

The check engine light would need scanner to read the code as it can be 1000s of reason.

The speedo and tach usually are because worn stepper motor. You could get rebuild service for $300 - 400 or buy the stepper and solder it yourself.

Thanks for the info. I bought a scanner yesterday to diagnose problems but haven't had a chance to use it because of the rain squalls in the afternoon . Will see what codes come up first chance I get.
