OK. I'll state the obvious. SOunds like you have some electrical problems.

The tachometer issue is a known problem. Usually a bad ground. There was a thread on it somewhere but I can't find it at the moment. Perhaps try using the Search functionality to search the 3rd gen section and the Interior/Exterior section on that topic.

The speedo and odometer are also known issues.

Go to the 3rd gen FAQ and scroll down to the O section for Odometer.
Link to FAQ:

Here is a link from the FAQ to start you off:

Good luck.

There are capacitors inside that leak over time... it may be time to replace them. Pull the unit out and take it to an electronics repair shop it sounds like you should not try this on your own
