Civic Cluster Wiring (7th into 6th Gen)
I don't know who to ask for this; so I had to make a thread...
I've been looking at fitting other clusters into 6th gen Civics and really liked the look of the sedan 03-05 over the s2k & the integra clusters, which had me look up some diy's and wiring diagrams. For me to use it, can I use this diagram (03-05 Cluster swap into 01-02) and the 01-02 into 96-00?
Basically, there's only a diagram for a 01-02 into a 96-00 and a diagram for 03-05 into 01-02, can I simply make a 03-05 to 96-00 using both diagrams by combining them over?

Re: Civic Cluster Wiring (7th into 6th Gen)
Thanks for the acknowledgement Ron. Hmm, I guess there's no way of knowing unless I try it then since there weren't any comments about it. I'll be back in a couple of months when I come across a cluster and try it out... but not giving up hope for an answer from somebody with experience or better knowledge of this

Re: Civic Cluster Wiring (7th into 6th Gen)
his temp gauge doesnt read.
personally Id rather lose the mph then the temp, I can guess about how fast Im going, I never want to guess how hot the car is though. Dunno if its specific to his wiring or all of them the temp gauges are messed up

Re: Civic Cluster Wiring (7th into 6th Gen)
There is a very simple fix for this, and it involves bypassing the digital front-end for the temp gauge (ie - connecting directly the analog portion of the gauge only).
I cannot remember where I saw this, but it was done, and some searching should give you the answer.

Re: Civic Cluster Wiring (7th into 6th Gen)
I'm needing a new cluster for my CRV so if i can get a hold of a 03-05 Civic cluster I will honestly attempt to swap. I actually need to resolder all my cluster pigtails anyway because the rats chewed it up so we'll see.
The reason why I mentioned the CRV cluster is because it's the same as the Civic. Here's a collage I put together if you're interested in more cluster options that bolt in

This info is great too
This info is great too
Jst picked up a 05 cluster in red for 34 bucks of ebay 
. ive wiried lots of clusters before but i hear there is some mods that need to be done to make the temp gauge working. any one have any insight as to the mod needed.
Thanks and i will post pics soon as i find harness plugs for it lol.
oh and a little teaser
Still working out alot of bugs.
Full write up to be done when wrinkels are ironed out.

here's some info on the coolant temp gauge on the 03-05 cluster. it's not looking promising however :/
"Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
The engine coolant temperature gauge is controlled by the CPU built-in the gauge assembly. The CPU receives coolant temperature information from the ECM/PCM via the multiplex control unit, The ECM/PCM receives coolant temperature information from the ECT sensor."
so it sounds like it works similarly to an s2000 or rsx cluster.
found this also. after reading through a bit of it i think it's clear why no one has come up with a simple solution to the problem at hand.

the only time i've seen someone with a functioning temp gauge on a newer cluster is when it was also used in conjunction with the newer ecu and multiplexer unit.

Re: Civic Cluster Wiring (7th into 6th Gen)
@CO671 it was 03-06 precisely
The only thing that might be a problem is that crappy temp gauge, no pics/schemes with wiring anywhere....
EDIT
saw the info about s2k temp....
