Dash lights help!!!!!!

[NighthawkEm2]

i have a 05 civic vp, i swapped out the gauge cluster with an 05 ex cluster and everything worked perfect.
I had an alarm installed by car toys, and when the alarm armed and dissarmed, the parking lights and dash lights would flash. well NOW the parking lights will flash but the dash doesnt. and when I turn the headlights on the cluster automatically dims and it shouldnt. If i turn the car off and leave the headlights on, the cluster is supposed to make that annoying sound to tell you the lights are on, well it doesnt. I took it to car toys and they couldnt find any sort of issue with wiring.

could it be a dimmer switch, the cluster itself?

HELP!! its really annoying and im a perfectionist, so the littleist thing annoys the crap out of me!

You had people check the back of the cluster to see all wires were hooked up and in their slots the full way? I believe it is either the wires are not in all the way, one is not working, or the cluster has something wrong with it

I think its the cluster itself or one of the wires, cause i hit the cluster and dash and now its working, uhhh WTF! lol
Im getting a rsx type s cluster so hopefully it all works out.

 

[civicsoulja21]

im thinking it wasnt connected right, but i could be wrong haha. good luck with the rsx ones

 

[NighthawkEm2]

from what im told and have read its a direct install, just plug and play

 

[civicsoulja21]

So it should be a piece of cake! Let me know how it turns out

 

[NighthawkEm2]

Thats great to hear, because i have one coming in through mail now! haha And thanks!
I may possibly put it on if i get one cheap, all depends on color of rims to me id say black slips and the spoiler would be sexy ill have to see im looking to get a set of white LS rims
And i will do, ill have a lot of pics come spring time for im installing all of my stuff into her

 

[civicsoulja21]

What i want to do is get my dad ride off of him someday, black it out (like yours for i like black lol) throw a carbon fiber hood on it, some black rims with the red lip and it already has a GSR swap so im good lol

 

[NighthawkEm2]

ya i want to swap out my rims for black rota grids with red lip or maybe gold grids, not sure yet.
then cf hood, and k20 or k24 with boost
I got foglights and the rsx cluster coming so should be here next week damn things are money pitts! hahaha

 

[NighthawkEm2]

I bought my spoiler off ebay for like 120 and it came painted, really nice quality!

 

[UCCRacing]

Why wouldn't you just take it back to the place that installed it and make them fix it?
