This is part 2 of the videos to repair the instrument guage in the Subaru SVX. This has been prepared by an enthusiast and not a professional. This repair was undertaken to address a failing Speedometer and Tachometer. The information in this video is a continuation of the great work made by Jefferson Drumm. Please use his video to see the fix on the Tachometer. Happy viewing.

Great video mate but it is a "Capacitor" not a "Resistor". But to fail after 30yrs is still not too bad and I doubt anybody at Subaru thought these cars would still be going. 😁

I know, like the car, I'm not perfect but happy to be still operating 😂

I checked the fingers the morning and nothing looked out of place. I removed them from the dash to see if there were any loose/missing wires but everything looked OK. Thanks for your help with this.

Do you have access to the Service manual? If not, on the weekend I'll check it out for you and see if there is anything else.

Hi @Larrygreen2402, I didn't get a chance to grab my service manual. I had my own challenge with a failed aircon bearing. I'll look this weekend.

Thank you for this breakdown of the repair. Do you happen to know if the same repair method works on a gas gauge that is reading incorrectly?

@subaru92svx12 6 ай бұрын

You're welcome. The gas guage is a little different. It is generally due to the "devils horns" in the fuel sender unit guage (in the fuel tank). The "devils horns" normally lose contact. Search the forums for SVX Devil's Horns. My mate John Hunter Burge came up with it.

Thought you might be the only one able to help me with a problem with my 97 SVX. The tachometer and speedometer work, but the odometer and trip odometer don't. I thought it might be the gears in the odometer and trip, but I've tried 3 replacement speedometers (that include the odometer and trip odometer) and while the speedometer worked in all 3, the odometer and trip odometer didn't work in any of them. I'm assuming the problem must be electrical but have no idea what it might be. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hi, that is a challenge. If each of the odometers isn't working, then it must be from the harness back. Check the fingers the instrument guage clips into. If corrosion has built up on the contacts, no or limited electrical current will flow. I'll chat with some fellow owners over the weekend. Regards Dorian
