I just purchased a 1987 325is, and while I'm not surprised that the odometer (motometer) doesn't work, I am having issues with the tachometer not working.
I got this car from the original owner and it has had quite a few dollars put into it over the years mainly by a BMW dealer here in town.
I did some searching on the forum but couldn't find an occurrence where ONLY the tach wasn't working. My fuel economy thing works, temp gauge works, service interval lights work, onboard computer works, etc.
Am I still looking at a battery problem in the SI board, or is there some other area where I should try to look to see if I can get the tach working? If it is the SI board, I'll do the batteries when I take the cluster out to do the gears in the odometer.
Thanks!
Joe
