I have a question. I just joined this site. Anyway I have a 2000 Mazda Protege DX, as you all knwo there is no tach. I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to just get gauges from like a LX or Es with the tach and just install it. Basically changing gauges. I have no clue?
 
wow...no tach at all...i never knew that....why did mazda do that? or is it like that on all the DX series gauges? ive never been in DX.
 
I just replaced a faulty dash in my father's Neon (you tend to replace alot of faulty things in a Neon :) anyways...) and his old one had no tachometer. And it was even a five speed - gasp. He told me real drivers don't need tachs just good ears. Whatever dad :)

The only cheap dash he could find had a tachometer. Turns out both dashes have the same exact plug - right down to the contacts. He just plugged that one in and voila - working tachometer. I am thinking it might be the same 'universal' plug on your Mazda, especially since it is a newer car than this Neon.
 
cool thanks alot..now all i have to do is find gauges with a tach. so far ive called liek every junk yard in my radius looking for some crashed or junked proteges but nothing its the one car that is hard. i might have to buy a whole new thing.
