Dash Cluster swap...pics

[cp[mike]]

I didn't actually splice the harness into the car, i took the connectors from a spare CB cluster I had and made a reverse harness, similar to a harness for an aftermarket headunit install.

as am i, thats the best way to do everything. with as often as i switch CBs, thats the only way to do anything... haha. i have mine partially done, i guess ill post pictures when im done.

I noticed last night that my dome light isn't activating when I open any of my car doors, it still works in the 'ON' position though. I think the cluster install may be affecting it, I am going to trouble shoot this in a couple days.

did you hook up the door-open indicators? they tie back directly into the dome light wiring last time i checked.

btw, whatd you guys do with the atts and immobilizer indicators? im thinking of having the key flash with my alarm LED, and relabel the ATTS to be a vtec indicator. ive noticed the optional indicators seem to be independantly wired, instead of tying in with the other indicators... they are the only ones with a pair of direct wiring. makes life easy

I was planning on using the Immobilozer indicator as part of my security system and the ATTS Indicator as a shift light.

I wired in the two front doors but not the rear doors, that might be the issue, I'll check it and see.

updates and DIY progress??? seems like u guys got those cluster coming right along! keep it up!

i made up reverse harnesses and matched all the wires up, i just need to go out and test it in the car... took some pics, ill be making a generic cluster retrofit DIY.

damn dude that looks just awsome! I'm absolutely speechless.. good work man!

Hey SSMAccord, How much would you charge me if i wanted you to wire that all up for me? If I got the gauge cluster. Cuz that looks killer!

Well I gotta go back and fine tune my set up, But its like 30 Leds and few hours of work. But you could easily buy replacement white LEDs for the lightbulbs and get about the same results. But its easier to do red Leds since the Prelude cluster has an amber diffuser built in.

SSM, the dome light problem is a ground issue, its someting to do with the door switch wires not getting a ground at the cluster. i dont remember exactly what wires, but i know thats what i had to do to fix mine when i had that problem.

[SMseagren83]

ok i have just a few questions about the wiring....i spent some time at work cross referencing the wires from a 92 cluster to a 1997-01 cluster using the circuit diagrams at work.

only thing is i have almost ALL but a few figured out....

ON THE 93 diagram

on plug C756 pin 5(yellow) what wire does that hook up to on the LUDE??
on plug C758 pin 4(wht/grn) is this not supported on the LUDE cluster??
on plug C756 pin 14(ylw) what wire does this go to?
on plug C757 pin 13(blu/red) what wire does this refernce to on the LUDE?

thats all i think i need.... if any of u can chime in and help id appreciate it!

The Prélude cluster reminds me of the 5th-gen Accord cluster (two large dials, two small dials) --- any reason why that one also wouldn't be a swap candidate?

[LoDollar92LX]

it depends on how it fits in the dash and bezel. wiring is minor.

I messed with one at the junkyard, it could be a swap canidate but u'll have to chop away at the foam on the dashboard for it to "sit correctly" That cluster is sorta taller and also the plastic gauge screen gets in the way. If i remember right, 2 of the plugs fit perfectly from the accord harness (not sure if the wiring is the same however....it may not work correctly if the car is indeed on)
