I need help. Someone please
 

:help:Hi guys. i have a 1998 honda civic dx and i thought of buying a 1999 honda civic ex guage cluster because the cluster i want has a rpm guage. My question is would it fit and work completely. Please help me.:help:

Sincerly jdmkid01:_please:

Re: I need help. Someone please
 

Yes it would fit and work fine the only problem is that the rpm gauge will not work because the dx did not come with it. Other than that it's direct plug and play you'll just have to have to run wiring to get rpms to show, which I know nothing about

I need more sugjestions! Please someone help

Re: I need help. Someone please
 

i dont know about the actual fitting part, but almost every civic dx comes with the rpm wire already hooked up in the harness. so if the connectors plug in and the cluster fits in the spot, the rpm should work.

Re: I need help. Someone please
 

Incorrect. OBD2 vehicles come with what's called a Crank Position Sensor, located in the distributor. This communicates the current RPM of the crank to the ECU and is pre-wired via the engine wiring harness. Therefore, when you plug in a cluster that has a tachometer, it will be plug and play.

So my advice? Buy the cluster and pop it in. Just note that the mileage on the replacement cluster cannot be changed to your current mileage so you will have to note at what mileage the original cluster was changed.

Well I did not know that good to know though thanks for the save

Re: I need help. Someone please
 

Thank you, Are you 100% sure. I dont want to spend the money then have it not work. im buying it because i want the rpms. i could care less about the milage. I need to make sure ur 100% sure that if i plug it in the rpms will work also

Re: I need help. Someone please
 

I am 100% sure. The mileage is irrelevant but make sure you note the mileage on the old cluster so you know the actual miles when you go to sell it.

Plug it in and it'll work.
