Alright, I've just about finished the wiring of my JDM cluster. Everything works great except...there are three yellow wires with red stripes! (The below image is for a CRX or something, the hatchback wiring is a bit different)



On my harness...

Slot 2 = Yellow + Red stripe with no silver dots

Slot 6 = Red + Blue stripe with silver dots

Can anyone tell me what these wires do?

Oh yeah, and Slot 4 for me in the below image is Yellow/Red with silver dots:



I'm really confused!

Bump please, I have everything done but this!

 

Seriously, bump for help! I just started my car again after sitting for a few months. Everything seems to be working (engine is growling to be driven hard ), but I'm sure at least 1 of these 3 wires does something!

 

i've allways wanted to kknow that too. and what the "not used" wires are for.

free bump though.

 

Thanks mate. Lol, at least one of the above wires are indeed used. They're just all the same color haha. Well, they have silver dots too, but I still need to figure out which one is the right one for the JDM oil light?

 

Bump for an answer.

 

i believe one of the yellow/red is door open light... and the other yellow/red isn't used...

and red/blue is seatbelt i think...

 

Does anyone know for sure? I have an 89 so I wasn't aware that I even had the wires running from the doors. I know one of the three wires isn't used for sure, but what of the other two?

Bump for an answer

 

Yet another bump. I know someone's done this to an 88-89 .

 

i feel your pain, i have an 88 dx and wiring in my jdm cluster is a biatch. Everything works except fuel, temp, and speedo. haha which is the most important things

 

I'll give you a bump because I want to do this too.

 

Haha, everything actually works for me...but I just want to know what these last 3 wires are for (reason being because I actually made a diagram for this, but some of the wire colors are the same from the USDM harness).

Anyways, here's my diagram for 88-89 hatchbacks. Everything works/is correct with the exception of 1-2 wires...which I'm trying to figure out right now.




*Edit* I'm pretty sure the single wire I need to identify has something to do with the oil warning light.

 

Jesus, I just figured it all out in less than a minute! The answer was sitting right in front of me (I feel so stupid). I plugged in the USDM clips into my CDM cluster, and traced the wires back to their sources (in this case, the warning lights). I found out that some of my wires were wrong, but most importantly -- I found out that the wires in question were actually for the...

A) Oil light --> (Big plug, yellow w/red stripe)
B) Seat belt light --> (Small plug, yellow w/red stripe (2) silver dots)
C) VSS -- ECU --> (Small plug, yellow w/red stripe but only (1) silver dot)

Using this method, I now know the function of each indivudial wire! I'm excited, because I now know that I can have a 100% functional SiR cluster . No guess/check/pray.

Actually, I now plan to re-use my mechanical VSS as opposed to swapping to an electronic VSS. Just need to double check some wires, and it should work with my original speedo/sending unit.
