Gas gage wont work
So I installed a 99 CRV cluster into my 98 civic dx and I dont think my gas gauge is working right, I was at 3/4 of a tank with the orginal cluster, and then when i installed the new one it didnt move nor has it moved once it was turned off/on, what should i do to fix this? The tach and everything else works about to test drive it to maybe break it in and see if the gas goes down at all

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Put the correct original cluster back in the dash.
Gas gauge works again?

Re: Gas gage wont work
So, downside to posting that video in response (even though this thread is over a year old, but I'll allow it) is the guy in the video is swapping an 03-05 civic cluster into a 2005 civic. Straight plug and play.
OP put a CRV cluster into a Civic. What it sounds like to me is the cluster connectors (in-car dash wiring harness) wasn't re-pinned correctly to send a proper signal to the new cluster. Back to the video, even if someone wanted to swap an 03-05 cluster into an 01-02 (same generation, post-facelift into pre-facelift models), re-pinning the connectors is required.
