Nope. That 98 HP engine is not going 100 mph at 2800 rpms....
Going to show you a fix for this generation of Honda speedometers. Hope it works for you!

You had me at PING "I wonder how important that was". 1994 Coupe owner here, working on my instrument cluster.

😁 Good luck with the repair!

Got into my civic this morning for work and this problem welcomed me as I turned onto the hwy. Will check this out when I'm not hiding at work lol.

@BabyJesus420 2 года назад

Glad I found this because my 95 Civic dx is doing the same. Actually went completely out for a week and then came back. Today it jumped to 120 and then back around to the under the 0 stopper

@ktecgarage 2 года назад

If u pull the speedo, you should also reflow all of the welds around the dial as well. I wish I did that in this video too. Good luck!

You're doing a nice job bro, so useful, love this model of civic, so cool and main cluster beautiful. I'm driving 1992 accord with so much fun, just subscribe to support your channel

@ktecgarage 4 года назад

Thank you for the support! I subbed back to you. I'm planning a quick video about this car and how well it is performing after 27 years. I also have a 2000 Accord featured in most of my videos so be sure to check those out.

This happened on my 99 civic, sometimes I was able to smack it to work, & sometimes it would work after long drives, but it would erratic. I thought I would have to solder something in, but I didn't know it just needed to be resoldered like this. Gonna give it a shot & see what happens!

@ktecgarage 2 года назад

There are several solder joints around the the dial if the speedo that you should check as well. Good luck!

There are a ton of other solder joints on the speedometer too. If you take it apart, I'd reflow those as well. I wished I had shown that in this video. Good luck!

@dhonne0873 3 года назад

do you know the wiring diagram of speed sensor?

@ktecgarage 3 года назад

Here is a link to the complete 93 Civic wiring schematic. It will let you download it PDF or just scroll through. The circuit your looking for is called VSS (vehicle speed sensor) Hope it helps. www.scribd.com/doc/109570773/Wiring-Diagrams-Honda-93-Engin

@aaronfry9019 2 года назад

Did you have to move the needle back at all because it would get stuck under the bar or did it just go back to normal when it worked?

@ktecgarage 2 года назад

Mine would pop back counter clockwise even when it was jammed under the stop.

@ze_german2921 3 года назад

I don’t understand what is happening when you heat up the solder. How does the speed know?

@jessebennett7858 Год назад

solder was old and cracked reheating it made a nice and smooth connection to the sensers

@onursozer5533 2 года назад

While in use, it goes full round by itself and gets stuck at 0. It doesn't go forward. Is the problem vvs or the indicator?

@ktecgarage 2 года назад

If it's this vintage Honda, I'd say it was the solder joints being cracked. You can put a volt meter on the speed sensor and spin the tire by hand to test that.

@strange4302 2 года назад

Hello my friend, I own a Honda 1993. My speedometer is stuck at 60 km. I don't know what to do to fix it. Do you have any information?

@ktecgarage 2 года назад

If it doesn't move even when you shut the car off, you may need a salvage cluster. Hard to say for sure. Good luck

@throttlefilms 2 года назад

will my spedometer work again if i just get a new one?

@ktecgarage 2 года назад

It is most likely broken solder joints if your car is the same vintage Honda. A new one will fix it if you can actually find one.

@wink2154 10 месяцев назад

Mine has a delay under 20kmh, then jumps all the way up to 30/40. Any thoughts?

@ktecgarage 10 месяцев назад

If it works sometimes or erratically, then it's probably a cracked solder joint. If I redid the video today, I would also remove the speedometer from the cluster and show the solder joints on that part as well. I had broken solder joints in the HVAC head and master relay as well. Seems to be an issue with this generation. It could also be a speed sensor, but mine was the solder.

@wink2154 10 месяцев назад

@@ktecgarage thanks for the update. I'll be sure to check both, as im planning some extensive repairs.

@alyssal5926 2 года назад

Does this work with the 97?

@ktecgarage 2 года назад

If cracked solder joints are causing your problem, then yes. The speedo should be pulled and ALL of the joints inspected with a magnifying glass. If you can bang it and it changes the way it functions, something is loose. Good luck!

@orlandocabrera85 10 месяцев назад

How much would you charged for something like this?

@ktecgarage 10 месяцев назад

Eh. I only work on my own stuff so I don't ruin someone else's! I do work on friends cars sometimes, but I always stress about it.

@killanoa Год назад

will this work for the gas level gauge aswell?

@ktecgarage Год назад

It could. Just depends on what's broke. Good luck!

@orlandocabrera85 10 месяцев назад

I soldered it and it still doesn’t work. Or could I have a different problem?

@ktecgarage 10 месяцев назад

If you take the dial assembly of the speedometer out of the cluster, you will see it has solder joints up and down each side. I would reflow them as well. This generation's solder joints crack everywhere. I had to do the main relay and hvac head joints too. Good luck!

@orlandocabrera85 10 месяцев назад

@@ktecgarage ok ok so correct me if Im wrong. I have to take the clear cover off first and then it’s I believe two Phillips screws on the back of the cluster (where I saw you reflowed some of the first terminals). And then (if I get it off first) your saying it’s on the sides, correct? Sorry😔 I feel like I’m clueless without pictures or videos

@orlandocabrera85 10 месяцев назад

Actually I took off the speedo it was actually 3** Philips screws

@orlandocabrera85 10 месяцев назад

Actually, nvm. Yeah, I had to re-solder the joints on the (black) connector cuz I had cracks on the joints. I followed the other RU-vid video of this. It works now! Thanks

@ktecgarage 10 месяцев назад

Glad to hear you got it working.
