Emax 22 RPM gauge inop

My rpm gauge stopped working. All the other gauges work fine. Any ideas? I'm trying to figure out how to get the dash off to check the gauge wiring.

Mine did the same thing. Try squeezing the orange wire connection to the alternator. My dealer said this is a relatively common problem, and it usually turns out to just be the loose wire. It fixed my problem.

This is the connection that was loose on mine.

Thanks for the quick response and the photo. I'm headed that way to check mine.

Any luck?

No luck. I even seperated the wire connection you showed. Everything was good there. I broke down and removed the steering wheel and the instrument console. No sign off any damage to the wiring harness. I unplugged the two connectors on the rear of the panel, sprayed both with contact cleaner. Didn't help. I'm thinking the gauge itself may be bad. Only 55 hours seems a little fast, though. thanks
