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.

clsuter will selftest and if th eatc works then you have another issue

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...?
