bought a 1995 civic si yesterday and the previous owner included an extra speed sensor, because the speedometer works sometimes and the other times it does not. rpm,gas,heat all work still but the odometer and trip dont work when the speedometer goes out. today i put in the new speed sensor and the speedometer/odometer/trip still doesnt work. Is it possible that he gave me a faulty VSS or is there something else i can check?
i have searched this but i didnt find that anyone resolved their problem, so i gave up lol


after doing some reading i found alot of people were resolving this problem by replacing the cluster (if the new speed sensor didnt fix the problem), also people were talking about testing wires.. i am fairly new to doing work on cars myself so i dont no how to test wires or where to even start. can someone explain how, or should i just get a new cluster, or just point me in the right direction. thanks

If you end up stumped like I did after following all the troubleshooting steps in the manual. Give this a try https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/92-00-civic-speedometer-fix-2792878/ it fixed all my issues and saved me from buying a new speedometer.

eg Driver

go to junk yard get a another cluster with 30 day warranty.

I have ek same problem.. My problem was there was a blue wire under the intake manifold that was cut up by rubbing on bracket. Check ur fuse cus my Vss fuse kept blowing up every time I put a new one in. If that's not it try one of ur buddy cluster.
