CRX Gauge Cluster Swap

[Tony]

Hey, I just got a 90-91 CRX Guage cluster for my 91 Honda Civic DX. I done got everything swapped, just need to know what wires need to be rewired? anyone know or know a place to find out?

Thanks

It should just be plug and play. Plug it in and it should work. Shouldnt need to rewire it since its a 90-91 cluster in a 90 civic.

Yea that is what i thought, but it doesn't work. All my dash lights are all messed up and my blinkers dont work. I think it was a 90-91 CRX, don't know for sure.

Im at work right now, and i cant seem to find that good pic of a 90-91 cluster.

heres a 88-89

One difference is where the check engine and other lights are at. On 90-91 the seatbelt is bigger. You should be able to tell by the pics.

alright, the 88 is the one i have. I didn't know for sure cause I got it out of a junk yard. so got any suggestions?

[GTA]

either... find someone that needs a 88 and has a 90-91 cluster, maybe someone on the board will read this and trade ya, or... sell yours on Ebay and buy a 90-91 from someone making sure its a 90-91.

[Tony]

I know you can make that work, just gotta make some modifications to it. Hopefully someone on here will know how to do it. I would try to sell it, but since it was sitting in the junk yard it got a little too much sun.

The only person I've seen talk about rewiring was 91zc i think. I think he got a 89 cluster adn made it work in his 91.....but i could be wrong on who it was

i just took a cluster out of my 88 CRX and tried to put it in my 91 DX and nothing worked but the turn signals.

[Tony]

those don't even work right now. don't know why either, might just be because i have my steering wheel off, don't know. the only thing that works is the speedo, but im about to go see if i can figure out how to rewire it

[Tony]

HAHAHA!!!! I am a genius!!! Figured out how to wire it up on my own. Took a lot of trys but I got it.

[91civicDXdude]

make a wiring diagram so it will help out all the rest of us... btw, did you wire up the shift light too? my 88 CRX HF dash has a shift light

[Tony]

Ill try to make out a diagram, don't know exactly how I did it, but know most of it. Nah, this one didn't have a shift light.

[GTA]

sweet good job man. It would be somewhat helpful if you could remember what wire goes where and write it down for all the people that accidently buy a wrong year guage cluster.

[Tony]

Alright, working on making the diagram. Give me a few days and I'll have it on the net. Working on making a new webpage for my car, that will be the first thing to go on it.
