2006 Honda Civic Speedometer Removal Video

- In this video, learn how to remove and replace the speedometer in the 8th gen Civic (model years 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011). My particular car in this video is a 2006 Honda Civic LX sedan automatic in case you’re wondering. This tutorial will work for any 8th gen Civic though. If your water temperature gauge or fuel gauge aren’t working, or are inverting (pretty common problem according to the forums, and my problem in this case) then this tutorial should give you the information you need to change it. Using trim tools to get the dash out would be easier, but common hand tools can get the job done. Hope this helps! Don’t forget to comment, like, share and subscribe! Thanks for watching!
NOTE: Your car mileage is not impacted by switching out this unit. The mileage on your car is saved in the ECU, not the speedo unit. So no worries about trying to finagle the car mileage after you install the unit.

All How-To videos should be recorded this way. Thank you for putting it simply, quickly, yet completely.
Appreciate it! Glad it was helpful!
The Civic's speedometer is so futuristic! I love him!
You’re such a wonderful teacher! One of the best “how to” videos.
If your speedometer turned on off or dimed by itself, it would be an electrical contact issue. No need to replace it. You could fix it by opening the speedometer casing, put 4 layers of electrical tape on 3 back supports that will touch 3 white round spots on the motherboard. This will create a pressure on the motherboard when closing, and create a constant electrical contact.
Glad it helped!
Very clear & helpful video guide, unlike many others!! Great, thanks 😊👍
Thanks! Appreciate it!
I felt and felt and looked the best I could for the 8mm bolts and couldn’t find it. Finally in there with a camera and they were missing! Great video haha
Lol, better late than never! Glad the video helped!
Excellent how to video. Very helpful, since these Honda Fuel gauges seem to have a mind of their own. Thanks,, Great Job with the video. Concise and to the point, narration along with being able to watch it being done, (and thankfully, no annoying background music) ..wish all how to videos shared your style.
thanks! glad you found it helpful. yeah, not exactly one of those background music types of guys. I'm all about not wasting people's time and giving them the info. they need :). thanks for watching!
This is a nice video. Very clear instructions and well filmed. In my case I was not able to detach the second piece from the head unit piece. So I had to pull it and the head unit back in one piece. It took some doing, but they released and pulled back so i could get to the speedo. Not sure if I did something wrong, but try as I might the second piece would not detach from the head unit, and I was afraid of breaking it. Anyway, thanks again...
doing car stuff forever now, trying to get plugs out has always been a sore spot for me. you'd think it'd be easy to unsnap those, but I find many times, these are very difficult to undo. hopefully everything worked out for you in the end!
Very good tutorial. Helped me save a lot of time. Thank you! Only thing I can add is that on my 2010 model, there was only one screw holding in the head unit. Other than that it was exactly the same! Thanks again!
Honda became a little more efficient with the later models lol. Glad it was helpful!
My 2010 Honda Civic LX had two screws. They were a pain in the butt to put back in.
Great video, thank you! I have a 2008 Honda Civic, and one thing I just found out, if your digital readout begins to fade, and your gas gauge doesn't read correctly (lights go opposite) you may not have to replace the unit. I had replaced mine about a year ago and the digital lights starting going our and fading again. It got me to thinking that the pins or the modular jack that connect to the pins may have built up corrosion over time. I followed the above instructions, removed the unit, then with my thumb on the locking tab, pushed the jack onto the pins and pulled it off, and kept doing that for about 100 times, just to make sure the pins and jack were cleaned off. After about 25 times, I blew off the pins on the back of the unit and blew over the top of the jack to get anything out. After doing this, believe it or not, the readout returned to normal! It must have had some corrosion that built up over time and this seemed to do the trick! To be sure, I drove our vehicle to a concert which was a little over an hour both ways, and the readout didn't fade or change. This may or may not work for everyone, but it saved me from having to buy another unit.
Very interesting. Glad the video helped!
I wonder if this is my issue too. My dash lights work about half the time but they will sometimes all light up in a weird shaded way. It doesn't seem to affect the actual working of the car however.
@@matchamate Well, mine lasted a little longer, but I eventually replaced the it, found one on EBay with very low mileage, must have come out of a wreck. The replacement has worked very well and is actually an upgrade from what I was using. Hope you are able to fix yours.
This is a wonderful how to video. I just replaced my speedometer and it was so simple and quick. No hidden surprises because the video was so detailed. The two 8 mm bolt were hidden and hard to see. Thanks to this video and a mirror, I got to the bolts without much fuss. I bought my speedometer used on ebay and it works perfectly. Be sure to buy the correct speedometer for your car, as mine was a Civic Hybrid, and is different model number than a normal Civic. Check the label on the back of the speedometer.
great job! glad it helped! haha, i bought the used speedometer in this video off ebay too! beats having to search around a junkyard for a part that may not work
Thanks for video...very helpful....I couldn't get the middle bezel to separate from the head unit, but I was able to get through to the screws to remove the upper bezel.
Glad you were able to get it done even with your issue!
Most helpful video I’ve ever watched, thank you bro
Glad it helped
Best video I've seen on install of speed and gas cluster.
Glad it helped!
Short and sweet. Excellent!
No problem! Glad it helped!
You are a star. Thanks for the video bro.
No problem! Glad it was helpful!
You’re the man for making this video!
No problem. Glad it helped!
Thanx been wanting a SI gauge or new lights
Very useful instruction! Appreciated.
thanks! glad it was helpful!
This was very helpful. Some information for whoever is attempting to install 8th gen civic SI cluster in their base model 8th gen civic: I installed both upper and lower SI cluster in my EX civic coupe. The installation is plug and play. However, the EPS light did turn on but that’s bc that feature is only in the SI version, not the base model. So far, I have not had any issues with this swap.
Can i pm you? Im a week away from starting this swap, i would love some guidance from somebody who’s already done this job before. Thanks in advance!
PHUCK PC Not sure how pm works in CZcams.
@@acr4715 do you have instagram, or twitter or facebook? I’ll add you there then send you a message
So if your speedometer is all fucked up on the glass and you replaced the whole unit there’s no programming?
@@justinbronsky5952 no programming required.
Awesome video, nice and easy, thank you for sharing
Glad it helped!
Super easy, maybe 20 min. work time. Mechanic would charge $100 at the least. The only issue is to understand how the electrical wire bundles unplug and replug. Remember the order in which you disconnected them. This video is 100% helpful. My Civic is an Si, there are a couple extra plugs, but no issues same concept.
Glad it helped!
Great quick to the point video

Did that end up working? I’m having same issue lol
Thank you!
Argeny Sandoval no problem!
Verry verry good job sir me gujrat India se meter repair vala
Thanks!
Awesome thank you so much, so can the ECU be altered, reason I’m asking is I’m looking at a 2012 Civic that has 58 000 km on it, and I find that hard to believe, your videos are awesome by the way love love them.!!!
Thanks! I'm sure it's possible if you know how to hack, but most people are not going to know how to do that, and it's illegal of course. I would just take a look at the car and see what they seller has to say. Maybe the car was an extra car that has been sitting around for years? I would also Carfax it and check the vehicle history to see if there's any shady business going on. I had an 06 STi that I got rid of in 2018, with 43k miles on it, so....lol. And that car was exactly that, a weekend warrior that I didn't drive all that often.
Thank you so much, keep the videos coming. Great Job!!!
did you disconnected the battery before doing this? your video is very helpful, thanks
You can, but you don't have to
Eaaasy! Thank you!
Glad it helped
Thank you
no problem! glad it helped!
Thank u for sharing
No problem. Glad it helped
If anyoneis watching this video because their fuel gauge is inverted and not lighting up properly (which is very common on this generation Civic), there is no need to buy a new speedometer the fix will cost you nothing and its so easy a toddler can do it.
After following directions you can find on youtube on how to remove the speedometer, unplug the speedometer, you’ll see its easy to open, there are no screws just clips all around the speedo that nees to be popped out with a flathead screwdriver, once you pop it open find regular packaging foam with a thickness of 3/4 inch to 1 inch max. Then cut the foam to fit behind the speedometer internals so when you close it the speedo its nice and tight. I figured this out after I noticed when i push the speedometer around the fuel guage area it would work briefly, I realized a little pressure deom behind should do the trick and its been over a year no problems. If you have any questions holla at me.
Very nice
Glad it helped
thank you 😊
Glad it helped
I have a 2011 civic Ex Sedan. The top speedo is giving out meaning the number 23 for example a piece of the 2 4 6 however fast or going like the top of the # is blowing out digitally. Will putting a Si speedometer work even tho I'm a non-Si and I know it has the rev limiter. But figured it gave me a reason to go from BLUE too RED now.
this would probably be a better question on the forums like honda-tech. i do know the part number is definitely different, but my guess would be that it should work fine? again, the guys on the forums would definitely have your answer.
Thanks!
No problem!
When you change the speedo that does nothing to the mileage of the car or??? Thanks great video, right to the point
Yes. The mileage is saved in the ECU, not the actual speedo unit. So you can change it out and the new unit will show your current mileage.
Hey! Thanks for sharing the video. Was hoping to pick your brain about my 2010 civic. The gas gauge has some squares missing and from time to time it inverts. I asked some friends and they just thought I needed a new cluster. Not sure if it’s that or do I need a new speedometer like this video? Do you have experience replacing the cluster? I feel like it’s briefly mentioned in this video but quickly. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
your issue was the exact reason i did this video. same thing was happening to my car. gas gauge would invert and it was quite annoying. you don't need to change the speedo in the bottom cluster, just to top one with speed and gauges. good luck!
Great video!
Question, if I wanted to replace the the instrument cluster (not the speedometer) on a 2007 Honda Civic LX, would any reprogramming need to be done or is it as simple as unplug the old one and plug in the new one?
I havent done this, so you may need to do more research, but I believe the lower gauge is also plug and play.
@@nukem384 thank you for responding. I ended up having a friend send me a spare cluster for me to test out.
While it can be plugged in and used, the mileage will be incorrect and will have lights come on for ABS and TPMS (TPMS doesn’t come on my car so can’t do anything about that) Most likely reprogramming will solve that problem!
But thank you for responding even if you weren’t sure what the answer was. The video was extremely helpful for the head unit and speedometer replacement!
Dear, please, I have a question
If the lights of this screen are dim
Is there a navigator in her predicaments
I have a 2007 Honda Civic, not sure if it is a ES, SI or just a plain sedan. We put the car on a car hauler behind a U-haul truck and took a trip, the front bumper kept falling loose from the front, and we kept placing it back on, anyway, we dropped the truck at U-haul and we were driving the car back home and the speedometer kept showing faster then we were actually going, it's off by 35-40 mph and is still doing it and we've been home a week. Could any wiring be pulled loose causing the problem? And where do I look first? Before this trip I had no problem with the mph malfunctioning at all. Any insight would be most helpful. BTW, your video was the best I've seen on CZcams, no disrupting noise and music in the background.
Thanks for the compliment! Sounds like you have a speed sensor issue. That's where I'd start. I don't think my tutorial will solve your problem, as the speedo is just showing info. from the data the ECU is gathering.
my friend..what is colours wires of speedometer and tacometer?? in rhe cluster or synoptic
No idea if I'll get a reply but worth a shot as my Civic's digital speedometer is DIM in daylight, I can't see anything at all and have no idea what speed I'm going at. What exactly should I search for on Google to get a replacement part? Can you provide a replacement link?
Part number is in the description, but actually I think it might be a bit outdated. Try this one instead. 78100-SNA-A140
Wait, so idk if you're familiar with the new civics, and if you know how the Instrumental Clusters look like, but I have a 2017 Honda Civic EX. I know these are older civic modes, but so it can be possible to swap the Instrumental Cluster to lets say, a SI version? Or even the base model? I love how the base model of the 2016 civic and up speedometer looks like!
thats probably a better question for the forums. im not sure off hand, but it could be possible. youd probably have to mod the dash to get it to fit and if the wiring doesnt match up, youd probably have to mod that too
Hi Nukem384, thanks for your videos and quick responses to questions. I have a few of my own. Last night I was on a drive (2008 civic coupe Ex) and 5 min into driving I lost almost all dash info except fuel.
1. Is there a way to change the lower cluster I.e temp, rpm etc, if so, what to do?
2. Will it change the kilometres on the dash once complete
3. Anything else I should check before doing the job like battery, fuses etc?
Thanks so much in advance
1. Yes you can change it out. Search YT, there are tutorials out there
2. Yes. I can't remember how to do it, but you can switch it pretty easily if I remember correctly.
3. I got this part for $20 used. Pretty cheap to give it a shot.
@@nukem384 thanks very much for the quick reply 💪
When I change my gauge control module or speedo, do they have to be from an EX or any civic coupe should do?
Cheeers mate!
@@PokerFace837 only the Si one is different
@@nukem384 thanks my man, have a great day!
Bro.. my tempeture gage goes ceazy when i put aignal light on. or sometimes goes to high temp but when i bang on dash goes back to normal temp... can it just be the cluster going bad? what you think my friend.
Either that or you have an electrical issue. I would try this first since it's a cheap fix if you get a used part. Hopefully that works for you!
I'd guess it's the cluster going bad. My fuel gauge does the same thing, only works when I bang on it/put weight on the top of the dash. Probably a loose connection or something but idk
how do you reset the gear shifter stick back to normal as you put everything back? I am thinking of trying to do this with my 2009 LX as the numbers on the speedo aren't lighting up all the time.
Just push it back up. The lock is only to not be able to move it into gear.
Hey nuxem 384!!!i wanted to ask that if I want to decrease my mileage only,do I have to remove the stereo system
you cant thru the speedo gauge. in these newer cars with electronic mileage, it's housed in the ecu, that way you dont have to worry about it and its harder to do illegal stuff like turn the mileage back.
nukem384 Thanks for your help,I really appreciate it.I wanted to reduce my mileage because I had a new engine but the speedometer was still saying 315000km on it which was the old engine mileage.If I didn’t reduce it,it will be harder to sell my car.
got it, makes sense. i haven't really searched on how to turn mileage back on an electronic odometer, but im sure there's info on YT about that. im sure the dealership could do that, but they'll probably charge you an arm and a leg for something thats really easy to do for them.
The mileage recorded by the odometer is not of the engine, it is of the vehicle as a whole, since the whole vehicle wears out over time (i.e. rust, transmission wear, ball joints, suspension, paint, even wiring insulation!). Nobody is going to roll back an odometer for you because you swapped the motor. Asking a mechanic to do so would result in them either informing you that it would not be legal to do in your situation or angrily kicking you out of their shop, depending on whether or not they thought you were misinformed or asking them to engage in a criminal act and their temperament. Even if they were willing to do it, most wouldn't have the equipment or knowledge to do so. Although the dealer (most likely) could do it, they're only going to do it when you're replacing the odometer with a used one from a different vehicle so that it is accurate or in another special situation.
To make sure that the resale value is kept as high as possible, keep your receipts for the engine purchase/install and advertise the vehicle as having "315km on the body, 20km on the motor" or similar. If you don't have receipts with mileage to show to a potential buyer, don't be surprised if they don't take you at your word.
Great video. This should be the same for an 09 Civic Si sedan?
Yup. Your background will be red instead of blue though :D.
@@nukem384 now I need to find a speedometer. New is close to $400.
@@joem3206 Screw that. Actually for this video, I picked up the speedo on eBay. Used part was $20 lol. Still working today.
question. My guage cluster plastic is dirty from the inside. Doing just the first couple steps would allow me to pop out that plastic screen and clean it?
You would probably need to do the whole thing to get the whole gauge cluster out to pop that plastic front cover off.
My gas gauge is going crazy not lighting up at times. Do you think this might fix the issue? No programming needed just plug and play? Thank you
I would definitely give this a try. Probably a wire loose or something in your current gauge. Yes, easy plug and play.
Quick question, they said that I needed to change my cluster control module because my 08 civic si cluster was acting up. My rpms stay at 0 even when I’m driving and my mph don’t go up at all. I have random lights on like check engine, tpms,and, brake..etc.. the shop said I needed a whole new cluster but want to charge me 1200 to get a new one and install. What do you think I should do.
try resetting your battery. if that doesnt fix it, yeah, you probably need that cluster control module. if all your lights arent working or being weird, then that would be the logical first step to try and fix it. but $1,200 is an absolute rip off. i think looking around online, the part was about $400. don't know where its located though, but i cant see if taking that much time to switch it out. maybe get a quote from somewhere else?
Hey mate, what ended up happening.. was it fixed easily?
🥂 cheers
My 2006 Honda Civic speedometer randomly will dim on right side only illuminating a few squares. Then sometimes will indicate I have a full tank of gas when I know I have way less than its showing. Will that $59.00 ebay swap likely correct this issue or is this most likely something else??
the gauge swap should fix your right side illuminating problem. as for the fuel gauge lying to you, that sounds more like a sensor problem than the actual gauge. i would check the fuel system to see if theres anything wrong there for that problem
Help. How do I know the replacement speedometer unit I bought from a junkyard is good? Can I just start the car or do I have to put the entire dash back together and cross my fingers?
Once you get the old speedo out, as long as you plug it in, you should be able to at least see if it's working or not. You should be able to turn the car on too. But for the most part since you can't test before you buy, you just have to hope. I bought mine on eBay from a junk yard, but they also tested the part and confirmed it was working, which was listed in the listing.
bro my top 3 gauges don’t work fuel temp and speed, and i watched your amazing video swapped it and it didn’t fix the speed thing.. any other things i could try?
that would tell me you might have an electronics issue. possibly the ecu isnt reading something right. either that or you got a lemon part. good luck!
Just reset fuse inside engine room fuse box...
if your speedo and tac don't match the tac will stop working. I'm stuck with this problem
Hey man, hope all is well.. what ended up being the problem?
Cheers 🥂
Do you know if there’s anyway to change the color of bulbs for the speedometer or is it all digital
The SI gauge cluster has red numbers, so yes there has to be. How easy that is to do, that's another question. You'd have to take the gauge cluster apart, and figure out what kind of bulbs it uses and go from there. You might want to try the forums and see if you can find anything helpful from the gearheads over there. If anyone knows, they will.
I have a honda civic ex 2007 and my fuel gauge fluckers and missing squares and when it gets to quarter of a tank the speedometer goes away where i cant see how fast im going would replace this whole thing solve my issue?
Katelynn Durden yes this should fix at least the fuel gauge issue. Not 100% sure about your speedo issue, but Id give this a shot and see if it fixes both
Does it just plug in or is there any other syncing that needs to be done?
Straight plug and play
I'm guessing that replacing the Speedometer/Fuel gauge cluster will not reset the mileage on my 2009 Civic, is that correct? Thanks.
Yes. The mileage is hooked up to your ECU. The speedo/fuel gauge just display info from the ECU
Any ideas on why it would say I'm going faster then I am ? Is the speedometer broke or a bad sensor?
Bad sensor or something isn't calibrated. The actual speedo is just relaying numbers from the ECU, so it can't be "broken" in that way.
Just went to the junkyard and pulled one out of a low mileage totalled civic. $30. I laughed because you could tell someone tried to remove the radio and banged it up. They couldn't find those two bolts underneath I guess lol
And to anyone reading this, if you pull one from the junkyard make sure they give a warranty on parts. You could get unlucky and pull one that also has an issue.
lol. they shouldve watched this video first :P. hopefully the part fixes your problem!
Maybe this is a silly question but can I swap a 2014 Honda Civic lx cluster in a 2016 Honda Civic LX?
If it's the same generation car, you should be able to. I have no idea if the one I swapped in this video is a 2006. Just make sure the part number matches your years car.
Is the upper speedometer not working a common issue? There’s a car I’m looking at but he says the speedo isn’t working. Can i just swap another unit in?
the inverted gas issue i swapped out mine for is. not sure about the actual speedo being defective. you might want to look around on the forums and see if swapping it out will fix it. it could be the gauge, but it could also be other things like the ecu or the speed sensor
Hi i have one honda Civic coupe XL 2009 but in a yunkyard i saw one honda Civic 2009 SI coupe, do you think ir will fit on my Civic? Mine its automatic AND all SI are manual transmisión
i dont believe the SI gauge will work on the other civics. i think the wiring is different. might want to ask on the forums though, im sure they would know for sure
@@nukem384 thanks, if you know some forums, please tell me about it, thanks
@@ricardoacevedo312 you could google search it? 8thgencivic, clubcivic, honda-tech, civicforums, theres a bunch of them. im sure theyll have your for sure answer
CN you change the colour somehow? Mines blue but I’d love it red like the si
I believe the Si gauge cluster is actually a didn't part number, that's why it's red. I'm not 100% sure if you can swap them out like that and have it show up red. That's a better question for the forums. They would know 100%.
my gas gauge goes half lit, then I smack the dash and it comes back full. You think it's electrical issue or cluster issue?
Could be either. But since this part is pretty cheap, I would definitely give this a shot. That behavior from the gauge sounds like this will fix your problem.
Will this part number work for a 2009 LX model?
yeah it should. all 06-11 LX models should have the same part number. probably the easiest thing to do is go to a site like hondaautomotiveparts.com and search your vehicle
Can you do this and swap out a regular civic cluster with an Si? I like the blue better than the red
I believe you can. The plug in the back is the same. Usually people want to go the other way haha.
@@nukem384 cool thanks
Do you think we can use speedometer civic fb in civic fd?
Highly doubt it. They aren't even the same shape.
Hello, the top part of the second 8 (888) on my speedometer seems to be giving out. say im going 77mph, it reads as 17. it seems to be flickering. will i need to replace the whole speedometer?
i went to go turn on my car soon after posting this, and it seems that all the 888 is completely intact. very weird. hopefully the issue fixed itself. will post again if the problem persists
Yes, do this install and that should fix your problem.
hey, the lights on my speedometer blink on and off on the left side when you drive 20,30, and 50 (maybe higher too). Do I need to replace my whole unit to fix this or is it a different issue, like a fuse or something? I can see it starting to affect the temp and gas gauge too now!
The top piece is all one unit as you see in the video. I would give this is shot. If it was a fuse, the whole thing wouldn't work, not just pieces of it. It appears in your case, that the individual bulbs in the unit are dying, so a unit replacement will fix that.
@@nukem384 can you buy the speedometer in ebay and after you do is there any special programing it
@@noelmatos7927 Nope! That's exactly what I did. Bought a used part off eBay and then plugged it right in. I know what you're thinking, even though it's for the lower gauge is the total miles right? That is stored in the ECU, so if you were to change out the lower gauge, you wouldn't have to worry about your mileage changing.
@@nukem384 thank you buddy
So if I have to replace the lower cluster (tach and odometer) it will detect the mileage from my car and not from the previous one?
Hello brother, I have 2006 Civic in India. It does not have mileage reading at the display as default. 1. Is it possible to add that reading there? 2. If yes, will it need a hardware (or software) upgrade?
Are you talking about on the bottom gauge? There's no mileage reading on this speedo gauge. You would definitely need new hardware to make that work. It's probably not possible because it's electronic, which means you'd have to mess with the ECU and unless you're really good with engineering/coding, probably not possible. Also, that might not even be legal as well.
nukem384 I swear I appreciate the effort you have taken to reply. Thank you so much for your time and being so clear at answering. I have many more doubts to ask you and I’m sure many others would love to read this conversation. Thank you once a again.
Would a si speedometer fit an ex coupe ? For 8th gen
I do believe they are the same besides the color, which I'm guessing is why you want to put it in an EX. Check the forums to be 100% sure, I think you can do it.
Hello someone can help me couse I losed two leds from my speedometer, what can I do?
youd want to follow this tutorial and get yourself a new speedometer. sounds like you need it!
Bro, i got 06civic and the speedometer is going crazy. Its the speed indication, speed disappears and shows 888. When it starts 3 months ago it wasnt that often. Now its very annoying, when i give a lil smash it can be ok for 10mins then go crazy again. Also, the gas gage inverted yesterday but now is ok after gave it lil punch. Do you think replace the speedometer will solve the speed problem. Thanks
Yes. I would definitely give this a try. The reason I replaced mine is because the gas gauge was inverting all the time. Pushing the unit helped, but only temporarily. I think this will fix both of your problems
nukem384 Yes i think it did:) its too soon to tell but drove 30min and no problems. Thanks for the video it made the job really easy!
@@micklaprise6455 No problem! Glad your problem is (hopefully) fixed!
Excellent vid. I have a 2010 LX with a bad fuel gauge. Anyone know if all 2006-2010 gauges interchangeable? I'm thinking of pulling one from a car salvage yard.
They should be. I got the used one in this video off eBay for $20.
@@nukem384 nice. thanks!
@@nukem384 I read on an Ebay seller description that "Some speedometers may need to be flashed by dealer to work properly with YOUR vehicles mileage." Did you have to do this and is it working well?
@@AR-mb3id Flashed? Why. I believe it's just reading data from the ECU. So no, I bought it, plugged it in and it worked fine.
I think they are talking about the lower portion that's not covered in this video. That would make more sense anyway, since the odometer is down there.
@@nukem384 Good to hear. thanks again.
Can you get me a link on where to purchase the speedo: the top one.
Don't have one because I bought it on eBay. But all you need to do is search the part number (in description) on eBay and you'll find plenty of listing come up.
Dude i have a question? My 2005 honda civic temp guage turns of and on sometimes. Sometimes when i put the singnal lights it goes crazy. It'll go from normal heat to over heat. When i hit the dash it'll go to normal. Any ideas buddy?
that sounds like some sort of electronics issue. maybe the metal contacts aren't quite touching each other, and that's why when you bang the dash, it "fixes" it temporarily. i cant say for sure, but electrical is where id start
Same thing with me! Did you ever fix the issue?
I have that same issue!!! Did u fix it yet?
@@georgeparker555 came back for same issue.. still having this problem. Did you evet find the source?
@@rickyduran1086 came back still same issue. Did you ever find the fix buddy?
Hi bro
My speedometer light Is always on even if I lock the car what can be the issue
That sounds like some sort of wiring issue. You'd need a mechanic for that unless you are good with electrical stuff
Good info but you didnt give a website to buy a new speedometer (besides going to the dealer).
I don't believe you can order this aftermarket, so the only place is the dealership unless you find it on the used market like me (eBay). Part number is in the description.
When I drive >20 mph, two of the lights at the top of the number 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, etc. are flickering and often off.
Is is likely that replacing the speedometer would fix this problem?
Thanks.
That's weird that it only flickers above 20MPH. But yes, I would try this and it should fix your problem.
@@nukem384 Thanks for your reply. The number “1” doesn’t extend far enough to the left in the display to notice the problem, but the 2, 3, etc., are noticeable. I’ll give it a try. The dealership wants $1500+ for the job, which seems a bit expensive for an 11 year old car.
@@HeathWatts Lol that's a joke, but not surprising since it's the dealership. I found a spare part on eBay for about $65 and it's still in the car today. Totally worth a try to fix it, and I think it will give the new info. you just gave me. Even the new part from Honda is like $300, so you'd still be saving a ton in labor.
@@nukem384 Thanks. This is great info. I’m more excited than I was when I learned to change the in cabin air filter, which costs $20 and takes 5 min to change, and saves about $100 in labor. Ha!
@@HeathWatts Good luck! Let me know how it goes!
Good instructions but you didn't have to remove the whole cover. The small bezel surrounding the speedo is the only thing you needed to remove.
The other covers are on top.... how would you unscrew and remove the speedo bezel without getting the other pieces out of the way?
Awesome video! * However, if I buy a used speedometer/fuel gauge cluster, won't the problem just happen again (eventually) because the cluster was already "used" ? Or is it better to spring for a new one, which is more expensive but should last much longer? Thanks!
I think the cost difference isn't worth it. A new one is like $300 from Honda. I paid $20 for this used one. We still have this car and this same used piece is still in there and working. Much more cost effective to get a used one unless you're planning on keeping your car for 100 years haha.
@@nukem384 Thanks for the reply... You convinced me. I'll get a used one for sure!
@@wc7976 haha no problem. Sometimes some parts just dont make sense to get new
Does the speedometer cluster need to be programmed??
Nope. It's plug and play. It's basically just regurgitating info. from the ECU.
