i just finished swaping EVERYTHING from my crashed Si into my HF body and my guage lights and my climate control lights dont work, i have changed out the dimmer switch and played with the connector and i cant figure it out


also, i cant find where this connector goes and it may have something to do with my problem

 

you should have labled it when youunplugged it


what year do you have bc that looks like a plug on the cluster for 88-89

do you have 2 connectors in theback of your gauge cluster


actually it might be for your hazards

do your blinks work

thats wierd why its under your dash hmm...

(its late)

 

my blinkers, hazards work as well as all my idiot lights but the guage lights just dont illuminate, im thinking it might be the miltifunction switch

its a 90 hf with 91 si interior and motor

 

that plug goes to a little black box that hooks to your dash. to the right of the center console

 

i dont think so, that black box is already hooked up

 

check your horn fuse. No BS. I bet you it's blown. That was the reason my wouldn't come on. Don't ask. I got that car from mickey mouse himself.

 

but my horn works, the fuse is fine

 

Hard to tell for pictures but it looks like your ignition wiring to me.

 

if you tell us what colors the wires are that would help out alot

 

hope you know that when your dash lights dont work, your tail lights dont work either.

check the fuse.

 

hope you know, my tail lights work fine

 

dont be a dick.... i was trying to help you.
well, now i know it isnt the fuse or a the switch itself.

its something you didnt plug in. so fix it yourself, *******.


BTW, you spelled GAUGE incorrectly.

 

I wish I honda-tech's search was a little better, because I could find you the exact thread where this came up once before, a long time ago.

the only one I could find was this one, and its only slightly related:

Basically, you are missing a small box that sits right underneath your cluster, under the steering column. This box is what that harness plugs into. This box controls the cluster lights, and just about anything that is supposed to light up in the cabin if your parking lights or headlights are on.

I know this, because mine fried one day. I had to resolder the transistors inside. And magically, my lights worked again!

Mine had a weird code stamped on the side that said AK-22, or AK-27, something weird like that.

BAN BAN BAN!

8===D

 

it is called the dash light brightness control unit. it is attached by plastic clip just to the right of the steering column. i actually got mine from a square 91 civc and it worked in my 91 crx. Dash lights viola!!!!!

 

tried it, i have three of them, either all three are busted or its something else

I was going to try to help, but if the OP is just gonna be snippy about it then i'll leave him to fend for himself. Have fun tracing wires skippy!

 

hahaha skippy.

 

sorry for being an ***, it was a bad day when i responded and i read your message as being "smart ***"

again, i apologise

thanks for all the help, but i still cant find the problem

 

you get a for apologizing. that isnt common here on h-t.


good luck. i'm not sure what it is. last time i had gauge lights out was in the 90s.

it was a bad headlight switch and also a blown fuse. the fuses are labeled for taillights/gauge cluster.

 

yeah im thinking it may be the multi-function switch

 

your hands look like mine, you need some lotion...


theres a little black box that has holes in it thats usually attatched to your steering column. sorry if thats been said, i didnt read much

 

it has been said, and i just found out that was my problem
no more loose connectors and my lights work

thanks a lot for everyones help
