What about if the cluster is an auto going into a manual car. is that possible?

RHCP0801 02-26-2006 10:03 PM

negative i believe

gearbox 02-26-2006 10:08 PM

auto into manual sure. you will have the P R N D part there but it just wont work right obviously. everything else should work.

RHCP0801 02-26-2006 10:09 PM

yea what the fvck do i know :lol:

bikeman185 02-26-2006 10:10 PM

sweet
will there be any change to the wiring other than what is already shown here?
Aslo is there any thing diffrent with doing the swap on a canadian car?

gearbox 02-26-2006 11:53 PM

doubtful. canada just has kph instead of mph. its the same car. only problem you might run into is the tach wire but it should be there. also depending on the cluster, you may have a light coming on for abs since your car doesn't have it. you can just stick some e-tape behind the icon tho. thats what i did for some of mine.

chicohonda02 02-27-2006 07:24 PM

What's the Wire for the ABS, cause the light is on, but I don't have ABS. at least I don't think so. 2002 DX coupe.

gearbox 02-27-2006 07:58 PM

i'm not sure but you could check the electrical service manual if its not in the diy. or easier just put electrical tape behind the icon.

Or just remove the bulb...

jayrck81 03-01-2006 02:13 PM

Can some one with a 2003 - 2005 EX w/ ABS tell me what pin location on the blue connector the Blue/Red wire is going into. That is your ABS light wire.

I cant find anyone with a manual to help me find it, but anyone with a 03-05 ex w/ abs can just pull out the cluster in like a minute and check. It would help out a lot of people who have done the swap and want to get rid of the abs light without tape or removing the bulb.

Thanks

yes it is, but its the first time that I saw this thread, esp. with the wires and their colors explained. I already saw those diagrams that you posted gearbox, didnt help me as much. I will be needing your advice once exams are over....lol.

gearbox 04-10-2006 01:19 PM

well the vp diagram is what you start with, then you pull out all the wires and put them back to match the ex diagram

vracer 04-14-2006 02:29 AM

gearbox,

If I want to install a 04 EX Couple cluster on my 01 LX Sedan, can I use the same diagram that you posted above?

Also, how hard is it to rewire the harness?

gearbox 04-14-2006 08:25 AM

not too hard. just gotta unplug the battery, take out the cluster, then on each connector there are two locking tabs that need to be pried off the sides. then you can take out the wires with pliars or a pin removal tool. then they can be pushed back in the right spots.

there are two styles of gauge cluster. Old style is the 01-02 lx/ex and 01-05 dx/vp. New style is 03-05 lx/ex. so when you swap old sytle with new style, the same diagram applies. on the diagram, ex is the new, and vp is the old.

'04 VP Cluster
 
After reading this whole thread I'm still a little confused. I have an '04 VP and basically just want to add a factory tach to my car. Would I be better off with an LX or EX cluster? Are they both the same? I'm not really too concerned with looks. Thanks in advance for any info.

atlcj0010 05-16-2006 07:56 AM

01-02 ex to 03 dx
 
i have an 01-02 ex cluster.. will that be a direct swap into an 03 dx? thanks for any help. I will be doing it today.. so if i dont get a reply i will let everyone know..

gearbox 05-16-2006 11:09 AM

yup. 01-02 lx/ex will directly swap with any year dx. if you want the led 03-05 lx/ex cluster, thats what this diy here is for to rewire the pins.

atlcj0010 05-17-2006 08:48 AM

ok great thanx.. yea it was a direct swap..no problems whatsoever.. looks very nice as well

einworb35 05-28-2006 11:50 AM

girlfriends 05 civic manual tranny. would like to put a cluster in for her that has the tach. would i need to rewire anything if i get a 05 ex/lx cluster.

yayitsnelson@gmail.com
just in case i need the diagram can someone email it to me. thanks

gearbox 05-28-2006 11:54 AM

she has a DX. you can directly swap any 01-02 lx/ex cluster with tach. if you want the new led style 03-05 lx/ex, you need to rewire like in this thread. the diagrams should be posted a few pages back.

infamous 05-31-2006 12:55 AM

I got a 2005 Civic VP, if I get the 2005 EX cluster, is it just plug and play? Or do I need to rewire or is it not compatible? Let me know guys. thanks

gearbox 05-31-2006 10:08 AM

you need to rewire it. 01-05 vp/dx is all the same old style cluster. you can only directly swap 01-02 lx/ex cluster into yours without rewiring.

sltuner88 07-11-2006 03:58 PM

time to resurect this thread cuz im in deep SH*# !!! Gearbox or anyone who has done this i was doing my swap, but found that the wires were a bit hard to pull out. I already released the locks on the sides so then i attempted to pul lthem out but then SNAP!!! wire popped of and the pin connector is still in side.... danmit danmit danmit!! HELP HELP HELP!!!

gearbox 07-11-2006 05:27 PM

that happened to me on a few but stripped the wire. they sell pin poppers at a computer store to push them up from the bottom. you could try a paperclip but i could never get it to work.

Em2onCPRs 07-13-2006 08:30 PM
