I recently finished putting a motor in my 1992 civic vx shell..

Problem is: the gauge cluster will not work. It will light up but the gas gauge, thermostat gauge, speedometer and tachometer will not work at all. None of the lights will work either ONLY the battery light.

- All gauge cluster clips are plugged in.
- I checked all of the fuses.
- The battery is fine.

There are three clips from the dash harness that are not plugged in but they ARE NOT the gauge cluster wiring and i searched everywhere and I can't find where to plug them into.. One is a small blue clip with 2 wires, the other is a grey clip with about 8-10 wires.

I would really appreciate all the help I can get, I'll even buy you lunch if you can help me and you are in the Las Vegas area.

Please no unnecessary comments as "use the search button" for I have searched and I couldn't find a thread with this exact problem.

 

It might be your VSS on the tranny

I doubt that the VSS would keep the thermostat, gas, and tach from working. My VSS is bad and everything but my speedo and and odometer work.
Umm, those 2 clips are probably what's wrong.

 

so you checked all fuses from underdash and underhood??

 

Have some pics?

 

I will take pics asap.

My problem is PROBABLY those wires but I can't find where they go.

Yep I checked every single fuse, they are all fine.

 

Keep going guys.

Thanks in advance.

 

Any more ideas?

 

Anybody?

 

To the top of the arena.

 

You ever get any pictures taken? I'll probably pull out my gauge cluster sometime over spring break. My speedo's been broken for awhile, I'll make sure all my connections are good, and while its out I'll look to see if I have the 8 and 2 wire things like you say you don't have pugged in.
