We need more info, specifically what car, what model and what year?

If it's a changeover year, what colour dials did it have when new?

Shouldn't that be an electronic one?

Should mean that you could have a fault code.

Go here;

http://www.scoobypedia.co.uk/index.p...UCodesViaOBDII

Then read the section titled, "Manually Reading ECU Codes (Classic Impreza’s only)"

If you are lucky it will give you a fault code.
