I fixed it, but I still have no idea what triggered the change in your user permissions because none of the admins altered them. If it ever happens again let me know and I'll get it fixed for you.

In my opinion, this is one of the truly great threads in the sites history

Theres a whole lot of info on this site explaining the cluster swaps, but just leave ur cluster in. The mileage is stored in the cluster though. It wont change because your engine is changed.

Hello everybody have a quick question about this swap.I just received my new cluster out of a 2004 civic lx (blue one)led..Im swapping into my 2005 civic vp no tach.I printed out the diagrams and were matching the wires on my paper checking with connector to see if it all matched before i go and start rewiring.My problem is theres an extra wire in the new cluster 2004 lx.on the bottom of green plug theres a white/blue after the blue/red and before blue/yellow.what is this white/blue wire??????and if it helps the new cluster is cdm and is in kmh going into my usdm civic.

I think its for abs light, but dont quote me on that.

in canada it could also be for the low washer fluid light that usdm cluster/cars do not have. nope guess not, elec manual says its canada wire for headlights. more than likely DRL (daytime running lights) related, which again usdm cars do not come with. the canada clusters have a DRL icon light to show whether the system is working. i bet thats what your wire is for.

Thanks for the replys guys.I guess well find out tommorow when i do the swap ive done my homework got the tools this should be fairly easy.Since my car is not gonna have a wire for that spot guess it doesnt matter whatever light stays on is gonna be that wire.unless i ground it would that turn off the mystery icon if there is one?

 
Rep Power: 0

Just found this, and GEARBOX was right its gonna be the drl.So if i ground this spot will it prevent the light from coming on?
Here is what each wire does. The wire pinout i have to send it to you by email cause its in microsoft excel format.

Pink: (Canada Vehicles only) Washer fluid level switch
White/Blue: (Canada Vehicles only) DRL Control unit

green/orange: From ECM/PCM
Blue/Red: From ABS Control unit
Pink: From SRS unit
Red/Black: Supplies 12V+ for dash backlights
Red: Supplies switched ground for dash lights
Green/Red: Left turn signal indicator
Green/Yellow: Right turn signal indicator

Yea sorry I was wrong. I was just guessing as to something the vp cluster wouldnt have. I was going to swap the blue cluster in, but I just got the bezel with gauge pods in it instead.

 
Rep Power: 812

i think the only light that comes on by leaving the wire disconnected is the abs. the washer fluid, side srs, and drl should stay off without doing anything. just tape up the wire. if it does come on for some reason, then you can try grounding it.

i need some help. i bought a 2004 civix dx. the previous owner said the instrument cluster went bad and he replaced it .i said cool how many miles etc.125000 ok. i asked if i could the old cluster with the car. here were i get confused the one he gave me the old one has a rpm gauge and is different the then the one thats in it. so i buy a used one like he gave me .plug but no play. my question is did any dx 2004 come with a instrument cluster with a tach. if not how can i make it work

 
Rep Power: 812

01-05 civic dx/vp only came with basic clusters (no tach), but the 01-02 lx/ex clusters with tach should be a direct swap just plug it in. the 03-05 lx/ex fancy led clusters (red or blue rings) need rewiring and this is what the thread here is about to repin the connectors to a new config.

the white/red wires.. does pin 15 on green get moved to pin 17 on green? and if so what happens to pin 1 on the blue vp connector? because it doesnt have a pair on the blue ex connector

Ok this is one of the older threads in the world.
Here is the senario:
I got jerked and bought a 2000 honda civic lx 4 door auto matic
97k and not that rusted for under 2400
Had hell with it....welll not really i did a minor tune up and gotta change the lower 02 sensor.
The problem is im missing the glass/plastic cover over the odometer.
I can get a new glass only for 40 from the dealer.
I searched this forum for 2 hours.
Are there clips that i have to buy or any other parts, because the plastic peice is missing.
Anybody that can answer me will get a like.
Also is there a diy video, as i cant find one?

Hi Guys,
I known this is a very old post..but it's still ROCK...
I just did a swapped from 2004 sedan lx cluster to my 2005 sedan vp (usa). I still have one wiring left afterward (i believe it's a red/white (or white/red)). Everythings in perfect lite-up..accept the door open indicator...is the leftover suppose to be the door open indicator? do you guys know which pin for the door indicator? I cannt find it from the diagram...any suggestion?
Thanks

 
Rep Power: 347

That was the only wire I had left over...I just let it hang like that. Honestly, door indicator is really the least of my concerns...I think I'd be able to tell quick if one of my two doors are open

 
Rep Power: 812

civics do not have door open indicators, only a trunk open indicator

thanks guys...then what is the purpose/function for the leftover wire? it must be use for something...any clue?

The answer was posted earlier in this thread, but there's the link again. Red/White goes to fuse #9 under the hood...find what that fuse controls, and you have your answer.

^ OPDS unit for side-airbag (in the seat). and i think only the EX had the "side-srs" indicator light on the cluster.

I did an 02 EX coupe to 05 EX coupe cluster swap. I have side airbags but the new cluster doesn't. My original cluster was very boring and found a nicer 02 cluster that matched in mileage so I swapped that in two years ago. That cluster did not have side srs either.

So my post is because with the new cluster swap, the SRS is lit. I assumed because the donor car had a head on collision. So I did the SRS reset (took me 4 times but got it.) Started the car this morning, no light. Drove 0.1 miles and it came back on. 4 restarts - still on.

After work I checked the main SRS fuse under the dash but it is good. I have not checked the side srs fuse but since it is not the one feeding the light I skipped it for now.

Since the cluster was the variable, I posted here first. I bought green and blue clips and did a pin by pin swap. I did not pull the battery cable but I was very careful. Nothing is blown or else is effected. Any ideas?

TIA
