sounds like you forgot to hook something back up, or you hooked something up backwards. does everything else work??

I've taken out MANY civic clusters and never ran into the problem of the directional lights not working.

Is it just the lights on the dash - or they're not working at all?

Did you damage the harness unplugging the cluster?

No damage was done. It was very simple to do.. But i get no action whatsoever.. Not from the indicators or the blinker themselves

thank you. it is such an easy mistake to make and it is the only logical explanation for this problem. it would be virtually impossible to break your turn signals by taking out your cluster.

Ah, I forgot that the '92-'95 shared the bezel that the hazard switch was in with the cluster was in.

Don't have that problem with a 6th gen .

Yea, thats why i was so confused as to what i could have possibly done. I knew i had plugged it in so i ruled it out at the beginning. next time i'll be double sure i have it in ALL the way. Thanks again!

you know how i came across this information? i've done it. probably everyone who has taken their dash apart has. it's soooo easy to forget to plug that back in. simple mistake, simple fix.
