If worse comes to worse you can just but a new cluster or subharness.

which wire is it? may not even be important. but try the pin removers they have at computer stores.

 
Rep Power: 397

I hate those things, They did more harm than good lol

 
Rep Power: 308

If you can get the pin out you can solder the wire back on pretty easy. Are there any pins not being used ?? You could use one of those as a replacement.

 
Rep Power: 812

ya one isnt used i remember

 
Rep Power: 252

naw its one that i need, its the white on from the blue plug, where can I buy a subharness at smuggler? and CraigW thats the exact problem though, i cant seem to get the pin out. aww man, and i just got in my lip kit painted... x_X

hmmmm may it is ??? can i ask anyone else to vote on this, get like a big opinion going on, cuz anything would help right now, ive also heard people having actual EX harness and they just have to splice the wires together, but seriously, in need of big help

 
Rep Power: 397

Well what I provided for you is the harness from an 03, dx, 5 speed

 
Rep Power: 812

white wire from blue plug? what does that do according to diagram?

 
Rep Power: 334

The one on the illustration (#4) is the same one I told you about yesterday, sl... only difference is he posted the DX one, I told you about the EX one... ~$75-100 more if I'm not mistaken.
Keep us updated.

heres some visuals to help you guys understand the situation....thx lots for the help on the find for the wire harness but it just doesnt seem like it tho, and if anything i want to fix this as easy as possible, heres a few pics that shows my problem







the pin connector inside is what I cant get out and if i cant get it out then cant wire it back up, and also you can see its practically done for out too much pressure


PLEASE

 
Rep Power: 308

Do you need to repair as is ?? or are you moving the white wire somewhere else ??

 
Rep Power: 252

well, practically both cuz im not really looking for an alternate solution i wanna use that pin for the wire so i gotta find a way to take it out and then fix it and then put the white wire back in....

 
Rep Power: 308

If the white wire is staying at that location, cut away part of the connectors plastic housing and carefully solder the white wire back in place.

I looked in the manual and there is no mention of how to release individual pins from connectors, The release tabs do not need to move much for removal. The tools are just a little wider than the pins and they push the locking tabs in to release from housing.

For the guys who know what I'm talking about (I myself don't know)... which of these is the one he broke? Is it *really* necessary?

 
Rep Power: 812

is just all white wire? i'll see what it does tonight, but really you can pull that connector out with some needle nose pliars it seems

 
Rep Power: 334

He's tried that a few times, he told me. I told him to put in some tweezers or however it's called heeeeere....

... and try and pull, push, pick that thing out, however he could... but he told me tried that too. I also told him to try and push it out with like a needle or something, didn't work. SO, I don't know.

just strip the white wire, go buy a longer wire from somewhere attach it to the stripped wire , and the other of the end goes into the blue harness, looks like u can fit a wire in the little metal hole, just crimp it with needle nose pliers and solder it for security

 
Rep Power: 252

so in doing that 1 sykcivic, ill be repairing it, thats a good thing, but now i went nowhere with my cluster swap ;P gosh everyone made it seem so easy, why dont these stupid things just come out like everyone saids lol, but tomorrow im gonna try to look for these so called " pin removal tools" and see what I can do with them, if they get the job done of taking them out, then thats all i need, but in the meantime might as well make a second plan, anybody got any EX wireharness' laying around???? lol

Good luck!

ok guyz a new problem has came in, so i gave up finding that dang pin popper cuz apprently know one in my area (stores) knows even what to do when they look at the pics, so me and the pops decided to just buya soldering gun and solder the wire back in and put back in my original cluster.....well that didnt turn out so well...heres what came up as i turned on the engine IN PARK



yep thats right, as my car is turned fully on IN PARK, practically everything is on in the gear indicator, and also my headlights arent working as for my tailights my reverse lights are on as I am in park.........
also another problem, my needles wont even light as bright as they used to



and also these pictures are in PARK may remind you again.

PLEASE PLEASE someone tell me I can calm down and that this is an easy fix, i feel like i screwed up big time,

"Oh, ish... i have NO idea what to do bro, sooooo sorry"

Please tell me you disconected the battery or the other end of the wire harness before you started using the iron.

 
Rep Power: 812

^ i was about to ask the same thing. if you didnt serious things happened. start checking fuses if youre lucky.

 
Rep Power: 270

reset ur battery, plug the neg wire under ur hood wait ffor like 5min and put it back in, should fix it

 
Rep Power: 334

Oh, ish no! He has to be smarter than that!

 
Rep Power: 252

haha yes i did disconnect the battery, had it disconnected ever since I started the project and just for that one time i put it back in and turned on and all i see is mayhem.....danm....

 
Rep Power: 812

try unplugging the connectors and then putting it back.
