Allright.... This is wierd. When i turn on the blinkers, they both flash and the Tachometer bounces from idle to 0 and just keeps doing that. This is the wierdest thing ive ever encountered. :rolleyes: Also, my speedometer doesnt work now for some reason. I took the cable apart from the cluster and it seems to be fine but im not sure. Would anyone just recommend getting a new guage cluster or just trying to fix the problem as in getting a new cable or doing electrical work?:confused:

well my blinkers were messed up and they had to get a whole new combo switch that runs you about 175 and it another 100 to get it installed, yes honda does like taking you to the cleaners

Damn! $275!! That's alot. The wierd thing is, everything was working fine 5 minutes before i posted the first thread so i dont know if it just went out or what's up. If anyone else has any possibilities, please let me know. Thanks :D

when my 90 hatch did that i descovered that the :smoker2: ground wire was bad, which made the alt go bad and the battery was dead

Well i dont think it has anything to do with the ground wire because my alternator is brand new and my battery is brand new. Any other suggestions??:confused:

Check the grounds in the cabin and underhood, and check to see if there's any wire touching metal anywhere under the dash or underhood

you could change it yourself and save the labour.

Well i did fix the blinker problem. The ground wire to one of the harnesses was completley out, so i spliced the wires and wired her back up. As for the speedometer, it still doesnt work. The cable is connected to the back of the cluster and it LOOKS like its connected to the tranny but how do you tell for sure?? Im hoping im low on fuel because it doesnt look like the fuel guage works either but i hope it does. If anyone could help me out about the speedometer cable and/or the fuel guage that would be great. Thanks for all the help.:D
