I am about to sell my car, but when i drove it last night while i was driving the cluster light turns off on me, and now whenever i turn on my headlights the cluster doesn't turn on, but when i press the alarm the cluster light would light up as its suppose to. what could be wrong? if you need to know its a 95 civic si with a stock si cluster.

 

yeah my EG8 [92 DX] does that, just smack it, haha seriously, thats what i do lol

 

Did you do any recent wiring?

 

nope no wiring done recently. and i tried smackin it and nothing turns back on.

did you try checking the plugs on the back....maybe they are losing connection

 

dimmer switch, went bad in my car jus cut and twist the black and red wires together on the bak. there is blak red and green i think, jus the red and blak together or new dimmer switch.

 

check the connector on the back of the gauge cluster dimmer switch. mine shuts off sometimes. i just hit it and it turns back on.

 

alright thx i will try these options and see if it works.

 

it wasnt the dimmer switch, and now my foglights and city lights are also not working. whats going on here! im not good with electrical items to a car but im sure someone here is! please help me. if you got a shop or something that can fix my problems in the bay area please let me know!

 

sounds like a ground problem...

 

check for a blown fuse... i had this problem too in my car and it was a blown fuse

 

which fuse should i check? i already checked the fuse for my cluster and it was fine. and for the ground should i re ground my wires to test if it works?

 

test the relays in the fuse box under the hood...happened to me..

 

how do i test it

 

nothing wrong with any fuse, my fog lights and city lights are wired directly to my corner lights, so there is no extra fuse for the fogs and no switch i need to press.

 

no one knows still? i checked the grounding and all seems fine.
