Default Cluster not working.

Does anyone know what causes the kmh guage to not work? I have a type r cluster everything works besides that. And my vss is fine just swapped a new one.
If anyone has any tips, diagram that can help me figure out what's wrong.

Did you swap a ITR cluster in? if so swap the green electrical film too. If not swapped look at the blue tach wire coming off the distributor if you are OBD2A, OBD2B gets signal from ECU.

Yeah it is a ITR cluster, there is a blue cable going to the dizzy that only reads rpms at the moment.

Owe its your speed sensor, You need to look at the wires on the harness plug that plugs in the VSS. That's the only thing that's going to cause the signal to fail. Also look at the cluster plugs that plug in the back of the cluster for any wires that may be damaged.

Did this just stop working at of the blue? you need to give more info on the issue.

Sorry, I just bought the car so don't know who did the swaps in the car. The speedometer doesn't work. I added a new vss which allowed me to see rpms more accurately. I'll trace the wires and do a ohm and voltages test. That's why I also asked if anyone had a diagram. It's a 1999 Acura Integra.

I think you mean something else cause the VSS is what gives the speedometer the reading! So if you put a new VSS (vehicle speed sensor) you should see how fast the car goes on the cluster.(MPH/KH) not RPM tach. That signal for RPM comes from the blue wire on the distributor harness plug. Your basically saying you put a new VSS and confirmed it works fine but you cant see the MPH .. So is it the RPM tach or speed tach??

I still think your problem is the green film on the back of the cluster! if you have a Type R cluster in a regular LS or GS or GSR Integra you must use the green electric film from the same year Integra cluster, most people don't know this and swap a Type R cluster in there Integra and wonder why some gauges like the Speedo don't work. Find a cluster from the same model you have and swap out the green film and start the car I bet $5 that's what it is.
