Did the DX have a tach? If not its probably the tach plug.

? that makes no sense the new ex cluster does have a tach so if the tach wire was seperate which its not because all hondas come prewired for the tach whether or not u have one the that so called extra "tach" plug would fit right in! does anything else not work? chances are u just missed a plug double check the back of the new cluster

Green is cruise control. Don't plug it in, don't worry about it.

everything works EXCEPT my CEL. when i try to pull codes it doesnt work. because when i tried to hit vtec it didnt engage and it stoped at 6500rpm (like a rev limiter) when it should of gone untill 7400rpm so i tried to pull some CEL but nothing showed.

Check the CEL bulb from the back of the cluster to see if its burnt out or missing.

I guess you guys skipped over my answer. Green plug is for cruise control. If you don't got it, don't worry.

yea we heard you the first time

anyways. i just took out the cluster and found like 7 lights missing. guess the guy that had it before me was greedy and kept all the lights for himself.

replaced the lights with the lights on my DX cluster and now the CEL works and im throwing a code 7. ima go look it up now. thnx for the help peoples.

EDIT - GOT DAMN IT !!! looks like its my TPS. anyone got a spare throttle position sensor !?!?

I thought the green was either SRS or ... damn, brain fart. I went through the rest of the thread to see if anyone else had already said it.

Mabe it is cruise.
