7.and its pissin me off

also my turn signals dont work the ones in the bumpers to but not the corner light
just found out when i let down the e-brake the tack works and the car hits a rev limiter at 2500rpms? limp mode? but cant check the codes help me please

 

88 HF harness isnt OBD1. So did you use an 88 HF harness or a 92-95 grey plug? If you swapped the whole harness from front to back,id have to ask why?

 

like the other guy said. what harness are you useing?
and check ALL your grounds... i had that same problem and it was just the gruond from the fram to the tranny. and the ground on your therastat housing...
just check that and see if that helps

 

88 hf harness is obd0 i know and i used the obd0-obd1 convertion harness and runnin on crome and why my car is a 89 dx that has alot of wiring problems so just wanted to start over fresh and clean hoping not to run into any problems and before anyone asks i have checked the grounds numerous times

though i checked my grounds it seems to be a ground cause whenever my e-brake is up my tach doesnt work and when its down it works that how i know it wont rev past 2500

 

any ideas?

 

edit: sorry i miss read some key info here. I have no idea. you might check the guage cluster wiring and make sure they are the same between 88 hf and 89 dx.

 

i even used the cluster i tried 3 differnt clusters and same thing on everyone

 

The honda ETM is gonna be your friend. Go pick one up and go from there. Noone on here is gonna be able to help sadly to say. Obviously you have some crossed wire on some plug/plugs. To make a DX to SI takes a couple extra wires and can be found on any Honda forum. This way you created a laaaaarge headache. Harness from front to back or did you use some Dx and some Hf?

 

not one wire from the dx completly hf everything

 

Then there shouldn't really be any issues. Just go over what you did,again and you may find something you missed. Good luck

 

Everything that is not working is dealing with the cluster it looks like, a wire diagram would come in real handy here.

 

ok just put in a old 88hf cluster in and stuff started to work but i dont see why the other clusters didnt work what is the difference between the 88 and 89 clusters? anything the reason im not gonna use the one that work is because the guy put the indiglos in and messed up alot of the stuff is missin i might try to put the 2 together and make 1 good one thanks again for all yalls help

 

I was having some issues
a few weeks ago with my cluster swap.
Incase your not familiar with color codes:
The first color is the solid and the second
color is the stripe.
Ex: red/blu = Red wire w/blue stripe

12 pin plug (bigger of the 2)
Your fuel is a ylw/wht
Your Temp is ylw/grn
Your Tach is a solid blue wire

8 pin plug
Your E-brake is Grn/red
Hope this helps you out..

 

was u having some of the same simptoms?

 

Yes and no...
Everything worked fine
on my old cluster..
I was swapping out
my stock cluster for a newer
one. I just happened to do the
homework so that i could get
the new cluster working correctly.
You might also want to try swapping
light bulbs around if you find its still
not working....
