Smack that Guage cluster!!!
Smack that Guage cluster!!!
My guage cluster likes to go off on me quite often. Sometimes a little love tap turns her back on, other wise it takes quite a beating. I think I may have an issue with the soders in the cluster itself.(Connections aren't loose) Anyone had this issue?
Thanks,
Bill.

Wow, see if the dealer will cover with warranty, otherwise clusters are pretty cheap on ebay. You can even get a new 03-04 cluster that looks nicer and wire that in if you're good at electronics.

Or.... If Honda won't cover it under warranty.....
Take the cluster out, remove the back from it, and with a magnifier look for cracks around solder joints. Most likely where the 2 connectors solder to the PCboard.
A small 15 watt radshack iron will fix that quick.
I can also do that for you, but you'd have to ship it both ways. Things like that take me all of 10 minutes. You could do it yourself, it's really NOT hard at all.
