Tachometer

When installing a new dash I may have accidentally shorted out my tachometer. Is there any way to check this? Tach is an older S-W, 3 wire, Ign, Grd, S terminals.
Car is actually a 1952 but you didn't offer that in your drop down year menu.
Thank you,
Richard

if it's electric and it's getting power then it is probably shorted out unless it has a bad ground. I always thought those were mechanical and not electric tachs...
