Hi, I have a 2001 Civic Ex 5 Speed. I bought it a short time ago and removed the cluster to take out the white after market faces from the dash to return to the factory gauges.

The wiring and lighting got a little funny: some of the areas of the dash wouldn't light up at first, then they would after tapping on the plastic shield.

Then the left turning signal indicator started only working sometimes, depending on if I moved the cluster around.

But now, all the lights for the gauges are working, except that there are no lights for the indicators for either turning signal, the hazards, or the brights. All three things actually work externally (including the clicking noises for Hazards and Turning Signals), but there are no corresponding indicator lights on the dash while they are in use.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

 

You have mega wiring problems in this area. Remove the dash again and, with a very bright led light, check for butchered wiring, light sockets ready to drop off, etc. If you locate solderless connectors, cut them out and redo as they may be bad. Also, look at the back of the dash and check for bad spots. Check for blown fuses as well.

 

Thanks Zona- will get on that and let you know!
