Hey everybody I have a 2000 Honda Civic DX hatchback that I just recently purchased. And I'm having a little issue with the speedometer. It does nothing at all, the needle is stationary at all times. Here is all I know about that car:
It was originally an automatic car, the previous owner swapped a d16y8 transmission into the car. It does have a d16y7 under the hood still. The swap was done VERY well it looks factory even the interior looks factory. Except the cluster, the last owner installed an auto EX cluster into the car. Well nothing worked at all on the auto EX cluster so I installed my DX manual cluster I had laying around from my last Civic. I know for a fact that everything on this cluster works so I know it is not the cluster. Everything on the manual DX cluster that I installed works except the speedometer. It still stays stationary and does not move at all. I have yet tried replacing the VSS because the dealer I got the car from said they hooked a volt meter up to it and they got a reading on the meter. But that is going to be the first thing I'm going to replace, the only other thing I can think of after that is wiring. Is there anything else that could be wrong that would cause the speedometer alone on any cluster to not work? All the stock harnesses are on the car still, none of those have been touched so everything is very clean in this car. I just can't think of anything else, so any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated.
