Cluster problems (please help!)
Hey H-t i have a '91 HF that i bought with a JDM D15B but didnt run due to a bad transmission. So i ended up swapping out the entire swap for a SOHC ZC and a 91 CRX SI transmission. At the time the cluster wasnt my main concern so i wasnt paying attention if it worked or not. Well when i swapped it out the alternator on the ZC was bad so it kept draining the battery when i was smoothing out the wrinkles in the idle and such i noticed the cluster didnt work at all, even when the car was on. I thought it was the alternator so i got a new alternator and a new battery and now only the battery light works. Everything is plugged up, however i am clueless as to what could be the problem. The car used to have an alarm, but it was removed and it has an OBD-0 to OBD1 conversion harness with a stock 92-95 Civic ECU. Also now the key warning beep is on ALL the time even when im driving. PLEASE HELP ME H-T!

Re: (NFRap1)
for fuses i just pull um out 1 by 1, it takes a long time, but it lets you know whats bad off the bat instead of guessing at it. just pull um with some needle nose pliers and check
replace any bad fuses and if you still have the problem you could have burnt a relay

The wiring on the inside of the dizzy. I ended up just ordering one.

Re: (NFRap1)
lookes burnt, so that could be it, but before repair you need to see why it burnt so your dont burn it again, look for wires that are grounding out. or some scorced metal

no don't. the cluster part of the dash wiring just unplugs from the fuse block
so unplug and replace. its real easy but you can do it with the dash in place

this was stupid and ineffective dont do this lol...i did however remove my entire dash and replaced the grey box behind the fuse box and the tachometer started to work...also when i checked for power at the temperature wire on the cluster it worked momentarily as i touched it but then it dies as soon as i remove the fuse tester...the lights are still inactive at this point as well
