Default So I get a flat tire at about 5 this morning

And don't have the key to my wheel locks (noob.) Eventually I got everything dialed in, but it was a *****.....

Here's the deal, my tach stopped working completely when the tire was flat.... Get the spare on there and BAM, works perfectly again......


ummmmmmm WTF?

Sounds very interesting. If your tire blows and your vehicle is still in motion the tach should have been still functioning normally.

Weird...? the tires or even moving down the road doesn't have anything to do with the tach.
Was it the driver front that blew? If so maybe a hard hit on the underside of the fuse box did it?
Or coincidence.?
