I'll check this weekend after I change my Oil Pressure Sensor.
Leading evidence: 'Replace oil pressure sensor' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace oil pressure sensor' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I was stopped at the light the other day and the radio was off and I could hear a very subtle revolutionary screeching coming from the cluster. I realized it was from the Tachometer. When I rev'ed the engine, noise went away but at idle it just goes "squieech, squieech, squieech, ...." I would say about 10x/sec
Is my tach about to fart and go dead?
Thanks!
I don't understand why an electronic cluster would squeak - if a stepper motor is used to position the needle, it's not turning constantly.
Is there any chance that this is a creak from the cluster rubbing the dash at certain RPM, or maybe alternator noise from the front left speaker?
If the tach was mechanical, this would make sense - but it seems odd for an electronic cluster...
OK, so the tach is not mechanical. So what you say makes sense. I'll check again and see if its something rubbing from vibration and good point on the alternator static noise but the radio was off.
Thanks dude!
There should be a freakin' snopes entry for WD-40...
It most definitely *is* a lubricant, though a light one. Look at the
MSDS sheet
if you don't believe me.
"25% petroleum based oil"
Note: Since Hurdi is British, and the British do some things on the wrong side, it may help to hold the can upside-down when applying WD-40 to anything he recommends using it on. If you don't have room to invert the can, at least consider holding it in your off-hand - i.e. if you're right-handed, use your left hand.
If none of this helps, try relabeling the can "04-DW".
OP, any news on your crickets?
