Did anybody who swapped their 88-91 DX cluster with an 88-91 Si Cluster run into any problems with the thermostat guage not working? I put one in my girls car and everything worked except for the thermostat. Is this normal or did i just get a defected cluster. TIA

 

Mine swapped in with no problems. i have a 89 hatch DX with a 89 hatch SI cluster. Sounds like a defective cluster...try moving the needle with the ur finger..just to make sure its not stuck in the down position (just a thought).

 

my si cluster was wierd & broken from the prior owner installing indiglo's (no fuel guage & the tach was CRAZY) so I swapped in an HF cluster & the temp guage never reaches quite 1/2 way, it always looks liek my car runs super cool (?) I have no idea why.

 

do you have to run a seperate tach wire for the dx-si cluster? i am curious as to what is involved. TIA.

Sorry- not trying to ***** your thread.

all of the plugs should already be there

 

my 91 just plugged and played. everything works fine.

its all plug N play...most people dont believe this, but it is. Everything will read correctly with a different cluster installed assuming that the donor cluster came from the appropriate years for your car (88-89 civic clusters are different than 90-91 civic clusters) and that it works correctly.

 

i know it works fine but i was just wondering if anybody had the thermostat problem...and if not then maybe i just got a defected one. so with that in mind i will get a new one and sell the other on one eBay...lol
