Default Cluster NOT working at all! Help ME!

Aight, i have a 91 CRX HF. I just put in a "new" cluster, and its still not working! Nothing works right, i plug in all the wires correct.. and nothing works, not the rpm, not the speedo.. nothing. but when i put the lights on full beam, it shows the oil thing light up. Can anyone help me out at all, any pics, or wiring diagrams, or anything! Thank you.

you have to use a cluster from the same years 88-89 or 90-91 or you can swap dash harnesses which would be a pain I did it.

yessirree bub, you got yourself an 88-89 cluster, one that doesn't come w/ the speed sensor amplifier (white box on back) if you want to use that cluster than you need to repin the 8 pin connector and the 12 pin connector. look at the printed circuit board on the back of the clusters and you'll notice that the pins go to different places!!

I love when people say they are selling you a 91 cluster and they sell you something bunk. Anyways.. how do i "repin" it? And what do you mean by re pin? Thank you.
