Dead tachometer Chrysler Sirrus

Jan 12, 2008 7 Replies

In my '95 model 4 cyl, 2 litre Chrysler Sirrus (or Chrysler Stratus as it's called in Europe) the tachometer is dead. I have tested with an other complete set of instruments and it still did not work. The malfunction must be outside the instruments. In the Haynes Repair Manual I can se that the instruments are connected to a "Body Control Module" as a part of a "Junction Box".



Does anybody know where to find this "Body Control Module" or "Junction Box"? Does anybody know where the tachometer gets its input? From one of the sensors..? Thanx in advance. Regards Tore /Oslo / Norway


Thank you. Yes I have tried that, and the tachometer is not responding in the self test. I have tried a complete change of instruments cluster with the same result and I suspect the test generator might be outside the instruments, perhaps in the "box" I'm tying to find...

I forgot to mention that the tachometer works sometimes for a few minutes in very dry weather or if the engine is very hot, like after a long hill climb...

Take it to the dealer and have them plug a scan tool into it. That will show if the computer is getting a tach signal from the engine or not.

Yes, naturally. Had hoped that someone with detailed knowledge of the car might know where the "Body Control Module" is located...? Regards Tore

BCM is located on junction block under the left side of the instrument panel

;-) Thank you! Kind regards from Norway. Tore
