Tach & a/c stoped

Like I said the tach quit about an hour ago and I got to reading on here and read that the crank sensor will cause that and the ac to quit,went and checked a/c dont work now...so am I looking in the right dirrection with the crank sensor?

Don't know about the 98's, but when the ESS went out on my 95, I had no alt charging either.

Another thing to check is the connection to the sensor, sometimes corrosion, sometimes oil ( if you have a crusty engine like mine ) can short across it, might try disconnecting and cleaning with contact cleaner ( or brake clean if you are frugal ).
