just got done installing/wiring up my jdm siR gauge cluster in my 88 civic hatch...

the speedometer is the only thing not working.
i've installed the electric vss, and i ran the wires for it.

the vss is supposed to have 3 wires coming out... ground, signal, and power
signal splits half to gauge cluster, and half to pin B16 on the jdm ecu...

i spliced the power from another switched power wire going into a connector in the gauge cluster... and grounded on the steering column...

so whats wrong? i need help
any suggestions would be helpful...

what is the correct pinout of the vss connector, because i just had to put wires directly into it cuz i didnt have a connector to fit it...

 

help

 

still not working

 

bump

 

What year model is the cluster?

 

i assume its a 90-91

 

On my cluster the wiring went like this.

as the clip is facing away form you it goes signal power ground. Maybe. All I know is that mine the power was in the middle.let me know if that works.

 

i'll try that when i go home... but i've tried a bunch of different combinations, so i think the wiring problem is up by the cluster, or the vss is not gettin power, or the vss is bad...

There is my post from a while ago got some info that may help you...are you sure your wires are connected well on the VSS...i was going to ground mine to the thermo housing also run a inline fuse in your power just incase...HTH

 

ok so i think that my current vss is burnt up due to wrong wiring the first time i installed it... i'm going to test it when i get home to make sure

 

ok guys... i have a good vss in there, wired correctly... .and i rewired all the connections to the cluster and ecu that had anything to do with the speedo.... and the speedo still doesnt work...

what do i do?
is it a bad cluster?
how do i know if its a bad cluster?

 

i'm not trying to bash on you whatsoever... because it's your car and not mine... but why do people put jdm clusters on their cars? i could see it if you were in canada and everything was in km/h but that has got to be annoying remembering what speed you're travelling at in mph.

 

I know having a cluster stopping at 8k when i rev past that is a good reason.

 

I did it cuz it lok better and I since I shift at about 9200 I needed it. I didnt want to put a monster tach in. so I got this which was 150 shipped from hmotorsonline.com

Also this cluster is in properly now and not as off as it is in the picture.
