sorry man the picture or whatever you posted up didnt show try again

i have a question, i just got a new cluster with 100k miles to more closely match my original miles, but its from an LX with side airbags. i believe the newer lx came with abs so it should have a light for that, but i dont have side air bags. is that light gonna stay on all the time? or am i gonna have to get creative with the wire and either disconnect or ground it to turn the light off... also has anyone disconnected the A/T gear position indicator wire, i hate that green dot thats on all the time when youre driving. i dont get the cluster in for another week so i cant play now, but im mainly wondering about side srs light.

Mine is from an 05 LX and i obviously dont have side airbags in my vp. i never had any problems hooking it up... and i don't have a gear indicator, just the gears. i don't have a light saying something is wrong with my airbags or anything. :-D

but does your new cluster have an icon that says "side airbag off" because i thought only certain cars have side airbags. i dont think ALL 03-05 lx/ex civics came with side airbag but i could be wrong. my current 04 cluster (new style same as what i just bought) does not have side airbag icon. i looked at the gear wire diagram and im just gonna leave it. too many wires and i dont think i can disable it without causing problems. its the P R N D with the green and red dots that light up for auto trans depending which gear youre in. worst case i will just put some tape behind the side airbag icon to block the light.

yeah bud, i don't know if the one it came off had side airbags either...... good point. however the gear selector light hasn't ever showed up on mine? yours is a stick too right?

no mines auto lol. so its got the gear strip and the dots light up depending what gear its in. like a red dot for park and green dot for drive. i was gonna try to find a manual cluster but its very rare. if you get a chance can you check your cluster to see if it has that side srs icon? you can prolly still see the outline even if its not lit up.

it's on the right side right? right.... right...... yeah lots of rights. and it looks like somebody with their head about to explode you say? right.

gearbox · 3 Weeks Ago

lol yeah i think its in the upper black area somewhere. it says side srs off or side airbag off

okay so the side airbag light stayed off, but this new cluster does not have abs light. so i guess the newer LX never came with that. if anyone wants an LX coupe cluster with side srs and 101k miles lemme know. i found another one on ebay for EX with the exact miles i have now and am bidding on that one.

yeah i looked at mine today. no side airbag light.
