97 Civic cluster issues - backlights don't work, speedo needle bounces (Video)
I have a 97 ex four door that I bought to flip but im just working on some issues before I sell it. I have checked the fuses (fuse 30) and the cluster lights dont work. the rear drive light do not work either. The MPH are messed up as well. Here is a vid of what I got going on.
Thank you everyone for looking!

Re: Issues with cluster Video inside
idk if its the same problem, cuz i have an eg, but my speedo would always go up to 10 when i turn the key to on (II) then the speed is just ahead by 10mph every where i go. all i had to do was take off the needle, turn the key on then put the needle back on to zero (while the car is stationary of course)
i know its not the same car but hopefully this helps!

The RPM tach never bounced, but the MPH tach still bounces

That was the car turning on and off, thats the only way I was able to show what the MPH tach was doing. Right when I turn on the ignition (II) it jumps to 20mph then when I start the car it jumps and stays at 20mph then when I turn it off it jumps again and goes back to 0. Sorry for the run on sentince. The RPM work fine like they should.

since no cel is on then maybe you should swap out the cluster from another ex civic and it should work

No just the MPH tach still dont work. I took out the cluster today and it would do just what it does on the video when I unplug the harness out of the cluster. So im having the girlfriend little sister (hot) ha ha come over and im going to swap out clusters.
I took out the speed sensor today out of the tranz, so I know it wasnt spinning and the stupid cluster still wasnt working right. Will give an update in an hour.
