Damned Cluster

Synthetic_6 · #1 10-25-2004, 03:01 PM

I looked through a lot of old posts and couldn't find the info im looking for. I swapped my cluster out and I have been told the Tach doesn't work because it's for the wrong year so I have to rewire or find another cluster. Anyone know where to get directions for that? Or if there is a cluster with a Tach for an 88 civic, hatch?

It would be much easier to find a Si tach for an 88-89 than trying to rewire it.

Okay, so an 88-89 civic si cluster will work with no rewiring?

Alright, once more. An 88-89 gauge cluster (any model type) will work if the year of your car is an 88-89. Vis versa for the 90-91. U can't swap the years. There used to be a good wiring guide on 4thgenerationcivic.com but now it's gone.

Okay, not sure what year the cluster is. Crap

88-89 have 4 screws on the 4 corners of the temp/fuel gauge 90-91 have no screws on the temp/fuel gauges

oh and 88-89 have a dotted matrix like redline while the 90-91 is all solid orange.

I will look as soon as I get home. Also, would this be compatible? Because it's sic: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

I know it SAYS its an 88-89..im just paranoid now. lol..sorry

It's for the 88-89, so as long as you have the 88 or 89, it should work just fine! Just bolt right in and plug right up! I do like it, though.

Shaguar47 · #11 10-25-2004, 05:58 PM

Yeah, that's an 88-89 so it will work for sure. I'm driving around with a crx cluster in mine too. It's all good my friend.

It's just odd..because aside from the SI and the different back..the cluster looks just like the one I put in..but I need to take a closer look maybe.

Shaguar47 · #13 10-25-2004, 05:59 PM

The four screws and the different redline should give the year away.

allright, thanks guys! Sorry if that was a bit annoying. I'm talking to the guy on ebay and i'm going to order this one.
