in cx s there are no tachs, when i install one, how do you install the wiring? and what do you plug in where?

 

Aftermarket? Need more details.

 

You can get a cluster from a 92-95 civic VX/LX/EX/Si and use that instead. Its just plug and play, no wiring needed y0!

 

If you're wiring in an aftermarket tach, tap into the blue wire that sits in the corner by your driverside shock tower.

Its a single blue wire, usually taped up and the connector is in a little rubber cover.

 

or a better way to do it so you dont have to run a wire through the firewall is tap the blue wire behind the gauge cluster. it makes for a cleaner engine bay if you dont have random wires in there. or yes there is the ex,si cluster which is direct plug and play.

 

do u guys know if the jdm cluster is plug and play for the cx? will the tach work?

 

alright, thanx for all the info, i might just do the ex cluster for the cleaner look.

 

I am glad you asked this cause I was wanting to know the samething. I am kind of a newby at working on cars.

 

i found a blue wire on my shock tower that goes into some plastic thing thats i think is the right wire, but to i pull the wire out, or plug the tach wire into the other side? is this even the right wire?

The hard part is finding one I can't seem to fine one anywhere.

 

http://www.ebay.com has many, search for civic cluster

 

On my tach, I have a red, black, white, and green wire.

I know the red is power and black is ground but where do I put the white and green wires?

 

okthe white wire is the illumination, you want that to come on when you turn on the headlights. the green is the signal wire. if you look at the wires behind the gauge cluster, you should find a blue wire, just tap into that.

 

Do I run the red wire to a fuse up front? Thats what we did on my brothers car.
