Gauge clusters

Electrical problem
1990 Honda CRX 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 9000 miles

When I fill up the tank the needle doesn't move till about a day later and even then it doesnt move to the full sign. when i waste gas it drastically moves for ex. on day it'll be near full and a couple days later it'll just switch to below half, no slow movments just a sudden jump. Also The tachometer doesnt always work and when it does it either doesnt pass three or just jumps instead of smoothly increasing.

Hi vaboytes,

Seems the meter cluster printed circuit noard or wire harness connectors are poor resulting in intermittent malfunctioning of the fuel gauge and tachometer.

You would need to remove the meter cluster to check.
