92 civic electrical gremlins
I have a 1992 dx hatch 5 speed
speedo works occasionally and occasionally it flutters and jumps all over the place but mostly it just reads 0 mph. have no idea why
tailights and dash lights take a little while to come on but whether they are on or off they seem to be in synch with each other which would make sense.
when i bought the car I was told "the car needs to warm up first before the tailights work"... lol
Im not necesarily looking for a solution atm, just wondering if this is a common problem with civics 92-95 (intermittent electrical issues)
dont get me wrong any info or a solution would be greatly appreciated!

No Cel's but who knows the poor little bulb could have burned out. The lady who owned the car before me kind of ran the car into the ground

Re: 92 civic electrical gremlins
just tried it and the CEL light came on for a moment when i turned the key in the ignition
So no. there is not a CEL
also fixed the tailight problem, it was a faulty turn signal switch arm thing what ever i got one from a JY
also found out the dash light problem is not connected to the tail lights in anyway

Suggests a bad speedometer or cluster, or broken wire between VSS and cluster.

Re: 92 civic electrical gremlins
Im a noob, VSS?
is that a "variable speed sensor"?
Replacing the cluster was the next step, had one in my hands but had to let it go to get a good deal on my wagon of parts at the JY
been super busy with work so im just happy the tailight problem is fixed
