Mr. 1582

I just bought a EX gauge cluster real cheap because the fuel and coolant gauge did not work. So I went to a friends house and he had a fuel and coolant gauge and it was working at his house (We tested it out on his sisters civic). I took the fuel & coolant gauge off and put it on the EX cluster I bought and the fuel is always full and the coolant will not move. And if I move the screws around and then they both go up and stay up.

Help what wrong is this fixable or should I buy another gauge cluster HELP ?

You took what off and put it where?
Did you take apart the cluster? Explain more.

Mr. 1582

My friend's old EX cluster has a broken tach so I took the fuel & coolant gauge off that cluster. A took the gauge home and replaced the broken fuel & coolant gauge with the one I got from my friend. Also the printed circuit board has a small scratch on it, but it just scrached the green insulation nothing else.

Is this fixable

So what you are saying is that you took apart the clusters and switched the gauges around? Umm I'm gonna have to go ahead and tell you that I have never heard of anyone doin that before. I would say you need a new cluster, but don't quote me on that somone else on here might have done this before. I work at a dealer and when there is a broken gauge in the instrument cluster, we either replace the sending unit or the entire cluster.

nah, i know people that do that a lot

it should work, maybe since the thing was so cheap it is a reflection of its broken-ness
