Fuse, Corrosion on the connector.

..which fuse would it be?? Also if this has anything to with anything. .i took apart the old vss and on the inside it actually melted and smelled burnt like it shorted out or something

- Tue Dec 30, 2014 4:51 pm #350661 I always check fuse under dash first and in the engine bay. But sounds to me like you had a short somewhere. Not to sure bro. Wish I could help more.

- Tue Dec 30, 2014 5:59 pm #350662 I had a similar problem on the Temp gauge.
The temp solder points on the G cluster had some oxidation and rust build up. It was shorting out between two points. Double check all contact on the cluster.

- Tue Dec 30, 2014 6:16 pm #350663 I'd start by checking the wiring but I'm worried that the short could have cooked the speedo. They're pretty delicate to begin with.

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

..crap.

- Tue Dec 30, 2014 9:02 pm #350668 Check your junk yard. They usually would have those around in all civics. Everyone usually picks up the tach and fuel and temp gauges.

I do. LOL.. I have three in a box , just in case.

- Thu Jan 01, 2015 6:11 pm #350683 So yesterday it started this thing where it will move up a little when the car is running and then dropbdown below 0 when the car is turned off

- Fri Jan 02, 2015 12:24 am #350689 speedo is probably shot.

do you know anybody with a 92-95 civic? its about a 10 minute job to swap in a working cluster to test the theory

- Tue Jan 06, 2015 7:54 pm #350801 How can it drop below zero? There's a pin at zero. Lift the needle up and put it on the right side of the pin.

I've had clusters spin around and pin on the bottom side of the stop and sit there regardless.
