i have a 91 crx si,b16.....i posted in the that other thread made by the guy who started this whole thing a while back but i never got any help from there..so i hope i can get some help on here..so here i go....ok.the only problems i seem to be having are ..the brightness control doesnt seem to work and i wired that up correct....and the other is the speedometer...there are 3 wires from the electronic speed sensor that i got from a d series...theres a black...yellow/black....and white/blue.....i grounded the black one....the yellow/black i assumed was the signal wire.so i split the wire and wired it up to pin a11 on the cluster and to pin b16 on the ecu...and the white/blue to power but the speedo isnt working......did i wire it up wrong? could someone help me out.please..thanks

 

anyone?

 

ok looking at the helms it says the colors are as follows:

for a 92-95 civic:

Black = Ground
Yellow/White = VSS Signal to cluster/ECU
Yellow/Blue = Ignition Power

for a 96-00 civic: (which is the one it seems you have)

Black = Ground
Blue/White = VSS Signal to Cluster/ECU
Black/Yellow = Ignition Power

your welcome.

 

well i doubt anyone here has done it and i know very little about wiring but maybe some photos would help whoever wants to help you.

 

ok..yea i do have the 96-2000 vss...ill try rewire and let u know how it goes....thanks alot..i really appreciate this

 

there are a few variations on VSS wire colors. I would switch the signal and power wires and see if the speedo works after

 

ok im back.....the white/blue is signal and black/yellow is power....its all done and working fine...thanks so much guys

 

i didnt wanna make another thread.so im bringing this one back.hope thats fine.....the cluster has been working fine except for 2 things...the needles dont glow and the brightness control doesnt work and the wiring is done correctly.i have checked it over and over again....anyone that has done this swap,having this problem? and did you fix it and how?....thanks in advance

wow, that was uncalled for.

anyway, hes right. the needles don't glow/light up really. there a bulb on top of the cluster shineing down on the front of the faces, like a stock crx/civic cluster, which illiuminates the needles. see if the bulb is blown. of mabey not even plugged in
