I have a 2000 Honda Civic Si body with a 99 Civic EX motor (long story on that) however my tachometer and speedometer does not work. I have checked the speed sensor and Im getting fire from that all the way to the connectors on the back of the gauge cluster but still no working speed/tach. I have ever tried swapping gauge clusters and that still has not worked. There is the CEL on, but i doubt that has anything to do with this issue. Can anybody else me out with this?

 

Sorry im not an ek person but i had this problem with my prelude, theres a 7.5 amp fuse under the dash for the ECU / ECM / Cruise Control check this fuse. ( it may be listed different in the ek )

 

I have tried replacing the fuse earlier but still no change. This is really pissing me off!!!! Thanks for your help.

 

Check the circuitry on the back of the cluster. Sometimes the mapping gets fried. And if it is use the rear defog repair kit @ a local hardware store. (The copper paint thing that fixes broken circuitry for defog.)

 

I checked all the circuitry on the back of the cluster everything looks good. It just blows my mine that the fuel and temp gauge work. I have just given it up and bought a 5 inch tach but now having problems with that I hooked it up but the RPM's arent being reported correctly. Is the wire from the distributor the solid blue?

 

try changing the cluster. I know it sounds dumb but sometimes its the dumbest answer that is the right one.

 

Hey backyard I already tried replacing the cluster and it still doesn't work. Do you know what wire i need to splice into to make my external tach to work? I tried the solid blue and the RPMS were showing real low. I was driving down the road testing it and my car hit redline and the tach was only showing like 3000 RPMS. I tried changing the wire to the green with yellow (or vice versa) i dont really remember, but it reported a little bit more RPMS but nowhere near what it is suppose to be displaying.... can you help?

 

the tach wire is the solid blue

 

I already tired the blue wire are we talking about the set of wires on the top side right next to the distributor? or on the bottom side? When i spliced into the blue wire on top the RPMS were reading LOW. I was idling at like 200 RPMS and never got past 3000 RPMS at redline.
