Found this on my '96 Sebring Convertible this morning. Was working properly last time I drove it a week or so back. No idea what happened. Note the position of the stop/rest pin.

Any quick simple fixes?

Oh boy, good luck with that...

Without pulling the cluster out of the dash and/or being able to test the instruments' circuits you're looking at a few hours tinkering at best to reset it. Clearly just getting stuck on the pin but without being able to access the gauge face to manually move it past I don't see an 'easy' fix, unfortunately. Someone else might know something though; dashboards aren't exactly my favorite places to work.

Ugh.....

Tried Allpar.com? I used that site years ago when I was playing with turbo Chrysler products. Don't know how active it still is, but their info was quite useful.

More than likely the internals are damaged if it somehow got all the way over. I don't see how it could have jumped the pin coming back.

I'd decide how much you truly care about the tach on this car. if it's an auto I just would leave it alone.
