So i got my new cluster today and everything works but the Tach. it needs a green plug-in clip....

I have a 94 CX ..... i believe this cluster came from a EJ but im not sure ..
where would this green plug in be cause the only plug and play i see is my rear defroster but they dont work and the one for my fogs.

that green plug is for crusie control.. if u dont have it than that mean ur car didnt come it with n u can leave it blank

Mrevann

any reason why my tach isnt working ?

Where did you get the cluster from? There's a good chance it could be broken.
Either that or a wire is broken/cut somewhere.

ricky00

check ur fuses..

Mrevann

which number?

Mrevann

got it from a guy on here said its been sitting for 2yrs .. should beeen working its ok though ..

?? rear defroster and fogs have nothing to do with your cluster

Mrevann

^^ noticed that.

This is a plug-n-play swap. The only 2 plugs required for your set up are the two wide plugs that plug into each side of the cluster. The green CC is unnecessary. The yellow SRS plug also isn't necessary, though I recommend plugging it in if you have an airbag.

Tachs quit working so yeah, most likely a bad tach...get another cluster and move on. I've had a couple with bad tachs before.

^ Thank you sir .. Appreciate it

Theres a break in the wire between the igniter and the cluster, or a bad igniter, or you're using a '99 - '00 Distributor or '00 - '01 integra engine harness.

Mrevann

so does that mean i need a new harness?

94EG8

What harness are you using?

Mrevann

the original cx harness. OBD1

94EG8

Then no.

Trace the tach signal wire and repair breaks. Should be plug and play.

BTW you have a EH2, not a EG6

Mrevann

alright .. soo .. there is no cut wires or anything ... this car is complete stock .. other then .. new speakers, radio, fogs, and suspension .. engine was rebuild a while ago .. but ya .. its on the verge of blowing. 94EG8 what am i looking for ?

Mrevann

ty for the correction.

Mrevann

Yesd it is plug and play ... but still the tach isnt working

No problem, Just because you don't see anything cut, doesn't mean the wire isn't corroded or broken in the shield, most likely at a connector. There is a test procedure for tach signal, I will see if I can find it in my FSM.

Mrevann

^ Thank You Sir.

I cant copy the igniter test page on this computer. But basically its the blue wire on the igniter that sends tach signal to the cluster. So either there is a break in that blue wire or your igniter is bad. If the test procedure is not in the FAQ, I can post it up tomorrow.

Edit: it's in the FAQ
