Icon2 Rolled odometer mileage back and now cluster doesn't work

have a 94 honda civic ex coupe. well i rolled back my miles inside cluster and i think now it messed up.. only thing that works on it now is SRS light. the RPM gauge dont work no more. and dont get check engine light no more either but car runs fine... anyone have any idea. i did rolled them back by hand so i think i could have broke something in side of it.. any suggestion on what to do or do i need another one now? could i be missing a ground or something on wiring harness too?

breaks cluster doing something illegal, has to get a new one with wrong mileage and does it again.

Yeah i don't understand why roll it back unless you're trying to sell it and say it doesn't have a lot of miles, even then it I'd wrong and illegal.

Say you bought a replacement speedo if your original one died, then it's not illegal to match the mileage on the new to the old.

Here's a quote from NOFX, just because:

It is LEGAL to roll an odometer in order to match the CHASSIS mileage. Say, for example, the original cluster is damaged or stolen.

It is ILLEGAL to roll an odometer in order to defraud another person. Rolling it to match the engine likely would fall under this category.

The discussion in this thread has strayed off topic into the arena of legality. Please refocus this discussion on the technical question posed by the OP, i.e., how to fix the cluster problem.

OP: Were you messing around with any wiring? Do your other dash lights work? It does sound like it could be a fuse or bad ground.

Your blinkers will not work when the hazard switch is removed. At least that's what I found in my 94 VX.
