Default 88-89 si cluster

I have an 89 civic hatchback dx automatic trans,
and i bought this cluster that has km/h instead of mph.
and when i installed it tach and speedometer dont work.
Right turn signal blinks on the high beam.
is there any wiring changes have to be done on these cluster?

you probably got a 90-91 cluster.. There is probably a wiring conversion diagram somewhere, though if the speedometer doesnt work, the cluster itself might be bad. That should at least work..

nah its an 88-89. i know how 90-91 looks like cause i have one with me right now.
ive bought several 88-89 cluster with a tach but none of them really work properly.
but my dx cluster without tach works so well.
anyone have experience?
