'04 Trac w/about 70K. Upon startup, or even just turning the key to the position just before starting, I have been getting an intermittent sound that is increasing in frequency and length: "grinding" for a few seconds (or now more) before my tachometer would engage (the fuel, oil pressure, voltmeter, etc. also do not engage). It sounds like a cable is spinning and stripping; it eventually "catches", and tachometer, fuel, etc. come on line, but it is happening more and more, and lasting 5 - 10 seconds now. I have done a thorough search and cannot find any similar postings.
Thank you.
