My tach on my 82 300td was not functioning at all. Well, i did some reading, got a butt off the ground. Unscrewed the trashcan looking device on the driver side inner fender, stuck it between the pins screwed it down tight and started it up. Fully functional tach now. Doesnt react slow or anything, works GREAT. thanks guys

yeah i tried it w cardboard and it only last a few weeks. what has been working great for me is a piece of pipe insulation. i cut a pice about an inch thick and put it under the cap inbetween the cap and the pin housing (the piece separates from the cap, be gentle when removing it). this way the insulation puts pressure on the pins when they go inside part mounted in the car and it keep contact w the pins. its worked fine for the past 3 months.

Piece of swimming pool noodle (left over from car seat repair) worked on my 123.
Who'd a thought swimming pool noodle to fix sagging seat, tach amp and to hold veggie tank in trunk from sliding around.

My Tach reads low rpm but is stable and works all the time, so maybe this fix wouldn't help.

Wouldn't have worked on my 300SD. *looks at old amp sitting on the desk*. I took it out...gave it a sniff with my nose and said...its done. Smelled like fried circuit board.
Picked one up and pocketed it at the wrecking yard off a w116 300SD that caught on fire. MB Tex smells BAD when it burns |

We did that fix on our old 83 300D. It worked for several (6+) years until it was traded in.
