Godfinger Neutral Newbie October 25, 2012 Share October 25, 2012 Hi all, my RPM needle and Temp needles are not working out of sudden. They stay at rest position and I have tried using the Honda gauge test Video found in YouTube to perform a test and indeed both these needles Are not responding. The Speedometer and Fuel gauge remains normal however. Anyone knows where can i find shops in SG doing Instrument Gauge Repair? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick n easy fix. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfinger Neutral Newbie October 26, 2012 Author Share October 26, 2012 Is there a fuses for instrument guages? Tried looking for this fuse location And it doesnt seems to have one. BTW, since only the RPM and temp Gauge is down, very unlikely is a Fuse problem. Will plugging in and running a full Onboard test using a scantool helps?

Godfinger Neutral Newbie October 26, 2012 Author Share October 26, 2012 I checked the connectors behind the cluster and all Are tightly secured. Maybe you have some workshop To recommend. Worst case, would need to get a Instrument gauges replaced. Am driving a Honda stream. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godfinger Neutral Newbie October 27, 2012 Author Share October 27, 2012 But where is the fuse located? Now let's say if I were to take out the cluster housing and Remove the lens cover, can the needles be touched or moved by hand. Thought of doing Some reset by following some Contrivbutors in YouTube.

Rustyz 5th Gear October 27, 2012 Share October 27, 2012 Honda ody is below the bonnet latch, look for ur user manual and do 1 to 1 exchange for speedo fuse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfinger Neutral Newbie October 27, 2012 Author Share October 27, 2012 Found and replaced the fuse for the instrument cluster. As expected, Fuses are intact and there goes the prime suspect. Looks like Replacing a instrument cluster is unavoiable. Many workshop That I went are not confident and do not carry out such repair. Have already asked the workshop to soucred for a used set of Meters and have to drive w/o a working Rpm and Temp gauge Temporary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway techometer & temp gauge are not very important[most car will 'cut-out when max rev is hit & temperture gauge is always in the centre,most important is there is coolant in the radiator],most important are fuel gauge & speedometer.

Replace instruments quite ex hor. Very unlikely 2 meters spoil at e same time. Look fr elect problem. Easier n cheaper fix. Meters can last very long hor. Some cars 20 yrs all meters still work fine.

Temp gauge very important. Maybe he cn just install a red bulb come on when temp goes too high. Cheaper than change meters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway Japanese cars NEVER overheat,if there is coolant in the radiator & the fans are working,Now ALL temp gauge are like 'dummy',all just rised to the middle[coolant temp between 75-105C]...some cars already deleted this gauge.

Then u wil realise how important ty r. Ive been driving many years n had several times my gauges saved me a lot of money n headaches. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
