Default Uh oh.......Installed some GlowGauges on my Cousinz car but Now the Speedo dont work?

Hey guys, my cousin asked me to help her install some Glow Gauges she bought For her Integ, but the Damn thing didn't come with any instructions ...but anyways I installed them with a little help from the Internet haha....Everything works fine but now the Speedo doe sent work???

Note: I did take out 2 screws on the back of the GaugeCluster behind the RPM gauge BUT i forgot to take them out for the Speedo.....could that be the reason why its not working??........Is there any way to fix it?

Recheck the speedo guage, the needle is probably getting stuck.

Did you have to pull off the needle to install the ricer mod? If so, you need a new speedo.

if you messed with screws to put the gauge faces, im pretty sure that is your problem. if your saying your needle doesnt move at all well then you messed around and i would recommend to buy a new speedo.

I don't care if you all consider it Ricer, she just wanted it to look pretty, And it looks pretty nice at Night.....anyways The RPM works fine its just the Speedometer that doesent move....

Also: I didn't take off the needles I Slid the gauges in.

Does the needle move freely by hand? Does the odometer work?

im guessing you did damage it, there cannot be another explenation. Seriously, maybe you did mess it up on ACCIDENT, the gauge faces shouldnt have any effect unless they cant let needle move freely. but you have confirmed you can move it with your hand, so im guessing she or you or somebody needs a new speedo.

was it easy to replace? what wires did you unplug to perform the installation?

I would check the speedo cable in the in the dash to the instrument cluster.

then check the speedo cable to the transmission make sure its plugged in.

What year is the Integra?

If it is 94+, check the wiring to the speedometer, green film, etc.

If it is 93-, check the speedometer cable connection.

well you do take out cluster and remove the glass so that you install the gauge faces. the only wiring you really do is connect the faces to switch so that they light up.
as you can see in the picture i provided, i had to remove plastic glass in order to install gauge faces.

x2 im thinking this for a DA...if so you just didnt get the speedo cable back into the hole on the cluster, if this is for a 90-93 teg then you going to have fun getting that cable back into socket bc there isnt much play in the cable or room to get your hands back there.
