Default Tach. not working

My tachometer randomly stopped working yesterday. I have made a few short trips since and still nothing, hoping it was just a fluke. I have read about this, but mostly on 94 and 95 models. I tried moving the key around because I read that the ignition switch is a possibility. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks.

Do you have any other warning lights like ABS or anything?

That could be your problem. I'd get that fixed first then see what happens after that.

Contact the ABS guy in the link I have in my signature.

Okay, I never knew that the module could also interfere with the tach as well. Thanks
