Default Quick Question for People with JDM Clusters

Hey everyone. Im going to install my jdm cluster in my CRX this monday. I tore everything up and I found the two main plugs that everyone talks about. I know how to wire those.

I also pulled a small blue plug out of the stock cluster. Do i wire any of those?? the wires are smaller and I think its like 5 or 6 wires in it. It was located between the two main plugs.

and one last thing. I have the electronic vss. there is three wires. black, yellow, and yellow with a white strip. I take it that black is ground, but what are the other two. I heard one was power and the other was the signal. which is which?

TIA

The small blue plug is for the car diagram. It would indicate when the door or hatch is open. It's not just a matter of re-wiring. You would have to do some other things.

The VSS wires are: ground, power, and signal to the ECU/cluster. I forget the pinout for the ECU/cluster wire, but I'll try to look it up later for you. It's a 50/50 shot on those wires. Just try it both ways.

HTH.

The black is the ground, the yellow/black or balck/yellow is the 12 volt power, and the yellow (middle wire on the connector) is the signal.

i have a yellow with a white stripe in the middle. then i have a solid yellow and a solid black. obviously the solid black is the ground, but what about the other two. i would just run the yellow with white wire to the 12v but this is the one in the middle. so i dont know.

Black=Ground
Yellow/White=Switched Power
Yellow=Lead (Connect to ECU)
*Make sure that there's a connection for the VSS from the ECU to your cluster too or you'll get a code.
