Can someone help me on the way to install a new cluster on my 97 civic. To save up some money, I tought of buying one at a nearby srapyard and then take a white backgroud on e bay and stick it on the new cluster. The reason I wanna do that is because I don't have a tach. Are the wires for the tach like ''sleeping'' behing my cluster right now?

 

its really simple, its just plug and play.
there are 2 little screws holding the bezle on, take those out and pull the bezle out.
there there are 4 little philips screws holding the cluster in, remove those and pull out the cluster enough to unplug the 3 wire connectors.
then to install new cluster with tach just do the steps above in reverse.

if your in vegas i will do it for you

 

as mentioned its just plug and play
btw.. just becareful not to break any plastic

 

I'm not sure about the way the tach works, it's only electronic or you have to go under the hood and put the mecanical part of the tachymeter?

 

if you get a ex or si cluster you dont have to go under your hood at all. You just simple remove your dx cluster with no tach and and install either of those with a tach and then your car will have a working tach. No rewiring needed

PM me if you have anymore question or help

 

you dont have to do any wiring.. the tach works once you installed it

 

ok great thanks. I wonder why it dosen't come with a tach since it's that simple. Ahhh imported cars

 

*sigh*.. the civic doesnt come with a lot of things
tach, power windows, power lock, a/c, power steering, cd player..

 

piece of cake buddy

my civic came with all of those installed from the factory, maybe u meant to say that some civics dont have all that stuff...you get what u pay for
