tach problem

i have a sun tach on my 83 f100 that doesnt return to o when i shut down the engine. it just stays at the speed the engine was runnin when i shut it off. i have to turn the ignition to acc or back to run to get it to zero out. it works fine otherwise. i dont have the light hooked up but i have the same tach on my 66 mustang hooked up the same way-no light, but it zeros no problem. any ideas?

tach problem

when i was in school i had one of those in a truck that didnt zero out until the key was turned back on. it doesnt draw power so i wouldnt worry about it. i actually thought they were supposed to do that since i never had problems with it

tach problem

I have an autometer tach and it does the same thing. I read the tech manual and it said that is normal.
