i bought myself an integra cluster today. everything works well except the fuel gauge

i tried matching it up with the old fuel lvl. but the new one will randomly drop below E or rise above F. is there a proper way to do this?

i was thinking maybe if i filled the car up, waited for the guage to stop moving. and then set it at just above the red F line

you may have to swap the green backs over from your us cluster

 

ok. and thats not a huge deal is it?

nothing should happen if i were to swap "circuit" boards?

 

any other ideas?

 

humm what year is your car? and what year is your cluster? it makes a differance.

 

mines a 94. im not sure what year the cluster is though. could i find out easily

 

96 spec should work but if not just change the green back you may have a 98 spec itr???

 

once the back is changed..


where do i place the fuel guage?

 

it should reset itself!

 

i dont get that?. it should sink back down on its own? and then climb to where the gas should be?

thats what i ment.

 

ok. is there anything else i could maybe try with the current circuit board thing already on&gt;

 

ok. so i switched green back. nothing changed. i thought i had it for a second when i changed back. but i went and got gas and it moved up about 3 ticks and then dropped right back down to half a tank. i got home and the second i was idle. it shot up aboeve full....

 

huuummmmm.....sorry if it didn't help..........

 

there must be something im missing...

Its ok, its the thought that counts!

 

morning bump.

i tried swaping the green back. it didnt work

 

what if i were to turn the key on. unplug the fuel pump, put the needle on E and plug the pump back in?

 

maybe you really didn't switch the green backing. you might of thought you did but you forgot which was which.

By switching the green film, it WILL function like your original cluster.

 

damn you guys i did the same exact thing i got a 96 jdm itr one and i just resently got a 98 jdm itr one they both do the same thing. the green parts in the back are exactly the same as my ls one. if i red it like it should be. when my car is off its already over heating. and my gas is totaly empty. it seems prety weird to methat lots of integra clusters dont work. i think it has somethign to do with the skrews because once i did that with my ls one i put it back together and now that one is all out of wack now too! so please guys...BUMP

 

heres a guess but how about swaping the fuel gauges over.... i know its a differnt style but???

 

tried that. motor and all. and still nothing

im thinking of tryint to swap the gauge and green board .. we'll see

was that english???

anyways, use all of your stock cluster, but use the gauges and bezel (if they are cf itr ones) from the new cluster. only.
