Erratic Tachometer on 95 Maxima

I found a number of postings related to erratic behavior of the
tachometer.  However, none the response provided a solution.

I have two problems that are similar:

Problem 1:    When the rpm increases beyond 2500 rpm, the tach jumps
to 2900 rpm and will stay there until the rpm increases beyond 3000
rpm.  It has this problem continuously.

Problem 2:  Sometimes the tach is stuck at 2900 rpm and will very
slowly increase to about the red line area, independent of engine rpm.
When this occurs, I simply have to turn the ignition off and then on
again.  This will resolve problem 2 for a few days but I will still
have problem 1.

About 5 years ago, I had a problem with the odometer getting stuck.  I
replaced the entire instrument cluster with a new one from the dealer.

I would like to hear from anyone if this problem is caused by a faulty
tachometer, wiring or ECM output, or something else.

Your help is much appreciated.

I have not received any response.  If there is anyone who has some
suggestions, I would love to hear.

Thanks much.

I have the same problem, except my 95' Maxima gets stuck around 3000
rpm. It goes beyond red line and then jumps back down to normal. I am
also looking for a solution for this. I am thinking about changing the
tachometer myself.

The problem I have on my '95 Max is that the tach never exceeds 2000 rpm
despite reving 'er up.

Cheers, Norm

I found a used instrument panel on ebay for $125 with luckily nearly
the same odometer reading.  This solved the problem.  The dealer
quoted about $350 for a new tach.
