Fixing Busted Speedo - Honda Prelude Forum

Hey guys,

I just finished fixing my posessed speedo. I went to a junk yard and picked up a new gauge cluster for $150. The only problem I had was the odometer. It turns out that the mileage in the digital odo's is stored int he cluster so I had to find a way to switch this. The odo can be taken out of the cluster, it is simply a circuit board the is under a plastic cover on the bottom of the cluster. I just unplugged my old one and popped in in the new cluster and *tada* functional speedo.

btw, if anyone needs a used '95 SI gauge cluster with balast for the EL gauges it's yours for $50. The speedo dosen't work properly though.

later

Always wondered about the odometer.

i hate to bring this from the dead, but i found a deal on some JDM vtec EL gauges, is this true? Can the odometer reading on my new jdm gauges be changed over to my old Si gauge cluster reading buy just doing this? sounds tooooo simple

if they are the EL gauges the odo reading is kept on a little module in the cluster. and they are plug and play. I think that the number on the odo will be in Km's though.

my old gauges were from a 93 Si (auto) will that cluster have the module your talking about? or was your swap EL to EL

Nope, the 93 cluster uses the mechanical odo so they won't swap. I swapped EL to EL because my car is a '95 si.
