Rep Power: 261

sorry to bring this thread back up but i need a little help here.

I just did this DIY and instead of switching pins i go a 'male and female' connector and just make a "quick switch connection thingy" so i can change back to originial without switching the pins.

Now the problem is, is that everything works, just that my right turn signal doenst work and my gas guage doesnt work (says im outa fuel). Please help meee!!!!! ASAP!

Can you order clusters direct from Honda?

i dont know if they allow it, since it is illegal to have a different number of mileage on your odometer and your car. But if they do, it'll probably be a hefty dollar since its the whole cluster.
Your best bet is to go to a junkyard and see if they have one, kinda rare to find but maybe you'll get lucky.

or ebay. for your problem, it seems like you left out one of the wires, or its loose.

 
Rep Power: 261

hmm..the thing is is that i dont have a yellow/black wire and yellow/green wire.
I found these colours in the other connectors but i duno...

I just dont know where i could find the connection. If anything ill take a picture of it and can u take a look? Other than that, im very happy with the result.

 
Rep Power: 812

what exact car do you have? i can look up the diagram colors but i am pretty sure the yellow/green is for the signal light. yea some of them have multiple function too.

i have an 01 dx sedan and im switching to an 03-04 (not sure) cluster. They are both manual clusters. Im also pretty sure that the yellow/green is for signal and yellow/black is for the fuel. the connectors that i have dont have the wires in them. But i found that the opposite plug has them, do you think that the wires are thoes ones? I tried it out but i ended up blowing a fuse, so if anything ill try that again. Let me know, thanks!!

oh and btw, i soldered everything so im pretty sure they're on them. Ill take a pic tonight

aiight here are some pics!!

hmm i know some wires need to switch sides per the diagram...but idk this is confusing. damn you didnt leave all those wires naked like that i hope!!

 
Rep Power: 261

hahha, no i put shrink wrap over them, some of them i had to redo because it was acutall showing too much. Well anyways, i finally got it figured out and everything works now.

RULE TO EVERYONE!!!!: CHECK OVER ALL CONNECTIONS AT LEAST 10 TIMES BEFORE GOING ON FORUMS AND WASTING PEOPLES TIMES!!!

anyways, thank gearbox, you have been great help once again!!

does anyone have a diagram for 01 ex auto w/side bags to 03 ex manual w/o side bags??

 
Rep Power: 812

its all the same youre just going from old to new. the only thing you might have is an extra wire for the side airbag but maybe not.

I bought an 03 Cluster and i have a 05 VP, after repinning both connectors, what color wires are never hooked up? I think i read one was white/red. Im trying to make this as idiot proof as possible. In regards to the ABS light, its the Blue/Red wire according to the list hi2nr posted earlier, if its hooked up in my car will it remained lit as i dont have ABS? Can i get around this by not plugging it in or grounding it? Thanks guys.

 
Rep Power: 261

you will not have a light connected to it, since you do not have abs in the first place.. well that was in my case... im pretty sure its the same..

sup guys... i recently picked up an 02 EX coupe with 70000 miles on it. its a 5 speed and i dont believe it has side air bags. there was an 05 EX coupe special edition on the show room but it was out of my price range...i really likethe cluster in that. and from what i read.the 03-05 clusters are all the same? well the LX and the EX ones are right? another question is..the wiring diagrams you have listed are what the plugs in the 01-02 are supposed to look like after you swap the wires? or is that what they look like stock?

 
Rep Power: 261

the location of the wires are what you change the plugs into. If you're looking for clusters, ebay or a junk yard should have them. Manual clusters are harder to come buy but they're out there, just gotta look hard. good luck!!

I did this and some of my wires colours are different than the ones in the DIY
I have an 05 Special Edition (simlar to vp i think)

Rep Power: 241

um..the SE is the top of the line other than the SI here...thats the cluster you should have already that i want!lol

 
Rep Power: 812

Rep Power: 0

in canada the special edition is pretty much a base civic
it has: auto, a/c, power windows, keyless entry
and thats it
i thinjk its like the vp

 
Rep Power: 812

Rep Power: 0

can anyone think of any suggestions to my problem?

 
Rep Power: 241

wait..the SI in canada is the EX in this country. and the SE also is the EX in this country. cause i have all that you mentioned and mine is not an SE. its an EX. this means he has the temp guage all the way next to the tach on the left and the fuel guage on the right next to the speedo. correct me if im wrong.
