I currently have 1997 honda civic hatchback DX (stock) switches




and I am trying to mate 2003 acura RSX-S switches to my civic steering console!




if you have any advice or if you have done anything like this or even know of a place that could help me out with rewireing these RSX-S switches to my stock civic wires I would really appreciate the pointers!! I LOVE H-T!

Thanks
-Joe

 

any reason why?

 

because i have never seen it done and i have a kind of small steering wheel, and i also have 2 wrecked rsx-s's that are kind of sitting around, and I am getting board with my car because of all of the down time waiting for money to coame it to buy parts for my k20z1 (06 rsx-s engine less than 3000 miles) engine swap.

any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

pick up manuals for both cars. compare.

 

thats what i ahve done and it somwhow left me very confused. I know wich wires are wich but its still very confusing. But when i get done and figure it out ill post up pictures and show everyone how cooooool this mod looks, I really like the way they look inside the car, it makes the interior come together very smooooothly!

I can try to help too..

at first glance, simply compare the # of wires per side - that should give an easy first impression of the difficulty

 

the # of wires is the same im just confused....?

 

do you have a multimeter? While you play around with it, use the continuity check on the multimeter and check for continuity between contacts with the various functions of the switches. For example, I bet one contact carries 12v into the switch, and the mist function will give it either to the front or the rear misters when you move the switch... so you would see continuity between one pin and another for the rear function, and the same pin and another one for the front.

I am a little hungover but does that make sense?

 

yeah man ill try to post the manuals up soon!
