In this video, learn how to remove and replace the speedometer in the 8th gen Civic (model years 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011). My particular car in this video is a 2006 Honda Civic LX sedan automatic in case you’re wondering. This tutorial will work for any 8th gen Civic though. If your water temperature gauge or fuel gauge aren’t working, or are inverting (pretty common problem according to the forums, and my problem in this case) then this tutorial should give you the information you need to change it. Using trim tools to get the dash out would be easier, but common hand tools can get the job done. Hope this helps! Don’t forget to comment, like, share and subscribe! Thanks for watching!
NOTE: Your car mileage is not impacted by switching out this unit. The mileage on your car is saved in the ECU, not the speedo unit. So no worries about trying to finagle the car mileage after you install the unit.

@nukem384 3 года назад

Appreciate it! Glad it was helpful!

@hoangdieutrinh Год назад

You’re such a wonderful teacher! One of the best “how to” videos. If your speedometer turned on off or dimed by itself, it would be an electrical contact issue. No need to replace it. You could fix it by opening the speedometer casing, put 4 layers of electrical tape on 3 back supports that will touch 3 white round spots on the motherboard. This will create a pressure on the motherboard when closing, and create a constant electrical contact.

This is a wonderful how to video. I just replaced my speedometer and it was so simple and quick. No hidden surprises because the video was so detailed. The two 8 mm bolt were hidden and hard to see. Thanks to this video and a mirror, I got to the bolts without much fuss. I bought my speedometer used on ebay and it works perfectly. Be sure to buy the correct speedometer for your car, as mine was a Civic Hybrid, and is different model number than a normal Civic. Check the label on the back of the speedometer.

@nukem384 5 лет назад

@mitch58100 2 года назад

Great video, thank you! I have a 2008 Honda Civic, and one thing I just found out, if your digital readout begins to fade, and your gas gauge doesn't read correctly (lights go opposite) you may not have to replace the unit. I had replaced mine about a year ago and the digital lights starting going our and fading again. It got me to thinking that the pins or the modular jack that connect to the pins may have built up corrosion over time. I followed the above instructions, removed the unit, then with my thumb on the locking tab, pushed the jack onto the pins and pulled it off, and kept doing that for about 100 times, just to make sure the pins and jack were cleaned off. After about 25 times, I blew off the pins on the back of the unit and blew over the top of the jack to get anything out. After doing this, believe it or not, the readout returned to normal! It must have had some corrosion that built up over time and this seemed to do the trick! To be sure, I drove our vehicle to a concert which was a little over an hour both ways, and the readout didn't fade or change. This may or may not work for everyone, but it saved me from having to buy another unit.

@nukem384 2 года назад

Very interesting. Glad the video helped!

@matchamate Год назад

I wonder if this is my issue too. My dash lights work about half the time but they will sometimes all light up in a weird shaded way. It doesn't seem to affect the actual working of the car however.

@mitch58100 Год назад

@@matchamate Well, mine lasted a little longer, but I eventually replaced the it, found one on EBay with very low mileage, must have come out of a wreck. The replacement has worked very well and is actually an upgrade from what I was using. Hope you are able to fix yours.

@dougshue2106 5 лет назад

This is a nice video. Very clear instructions and well filmed. In my case I was not able to detach the second piece from the head unit piece. So I had to pull it and the head unit back in one piece. It took some doing, but they released and pulled back so i could get to the speedo. Not sure if I did something wrong, but try as I might the second piece would not detach from the head unit, and I was afraid of breaking it. Anyway, thanks again...

Some information for whoever is attempting to install 8th gen civic SI cluster in their base model 8th gen civic: I installed both upper and lower SI cluster in my EX civic coupe. The installation is plug and play. However, the EPS light did turn on but that’s bc that feature is only in the SI version, not the base model. So far, I have not had any issues with this swap.

I have a 2011 civic Ex Sedan. The top speedo is giving out meaning the number 23 for example a piece of the 2 4 6 however fast or going like the top of the # is blowing out digitally. Will putting a Si speedometer work even tho I'm a non-Si and I know it has the rev limiter. But figured it gave me a reason to go from BLUE too RED now.

@nukem384 6 лет назад

this would probably be a better question on the forums like honda-tech. i do know the part number is definitely different, but my guess would be that it should work fine? again, the guys on the forums would definitely have your answer.

@waytomariana 5 лет назад

Hey! Thanks for sharing the video. Was hoping to pick your brain about my 2010 civic. The gas gauge has some squares missing and from time to time it inverts. I asked some friends and they just thought I needed a new cluster. Not sure if it’s that or do I need a new speedometer like this video? Do you have experience replacing the cluster? I feel like it’s briefly mentioned in this video but quickly. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

@nukem384 5 лет назад

your issue was the exact reason i did this video. same thing was happening to my car. gas gauge would invert and it was quite annoying. you don't need to change the speedo in the bottom cluster, just to top one with speed and gauges. good luck!

@GhostieDoodles Год назад

Great video! Question, if I wanted to replace the the instrument cluster (not the speedometer) on a 2007 Honda Civic LX, would any reprogramming need to be done or is it as simple as unplug the old one and plug in the new one?

@nukem384 Год назад

I havent done this, so you may need to do more research, but I believe the lower gauge is also plug and play.

@GhostieDoodles Год назад

@@nukem384 thank you for responding. I ended up having a friend send me a spare cluster for me to test out. While it can be plugged in and used, the mileage will be incorrect and will have lights come on for ABS and TPMS (TPMS doesn’t come on my car so can’t do anything about that) Most likely reprogramming will solve that problem! But thank you for responding even if you weren’t sure what the answer was. The video was extremely helpful for the head unit and speedometer replacement!

Help. How do I know the replacement speedometer unit I bought from a junkyard is good? Can I just start the car or do I have to put the entire dash back together and cross my fingers?

@nukem384 Год назад

Once you get the old speedo out, as long as you plug it in, you should be able to at least see if it's working or not. You should be able to turn the car on too. But for the most part since you can't test before you buy, you just have to hope. I bought mine on eBay from a junk yard, but they also tested the part and confirmed it was working, which was listed in the listing.

My 2006 Honda Civic speedometer randomly will dim on right side only illuminating a few squares. Then sometimes will indicate I have a full tank of gas when I know I have way less than its showing. Will that $59.00 ebay swap likely correct this issue or is this most likely something else??

@nukem384 6 лет назад

the gauge swap should fix your right side illuminating problem. as for the fuel gauge lying to you, that sounds more like a sensor problem than the actual gauge. i would check the fuel system to see if theres anything wrong there for that problem

@Herk101able 3 года назад

When you change the speedo that does nothing to the mileage of the car or??? Thanks great video, right to the point

Yes. The mileage is saved in the ECU, not the actual speedo unit. So you can change it out and the new unit will show your current mileage.

@junemann6454 4 года назад

I have a 2007 Honda Civic, not sure if it is a ES, SI or just a plain sedan. We put the car on a car hauler behind a U-haul truck and took a trip, the front bumper kept falling loose from the front, and we kept placing it back on, anyway, we dropped the truck at U-haul and we were driving the car back home and the speedometer kept showing faster then we were actually going, it's off by 35-40 mph and is still doing it and we've been home a week. Could any wiring be pulled loose causing the problem? And where do I look first? Before this trip I had no problem with the mph malfunctioning at all. Any insight would be most helpful. BTW, your video was the best I've seen on RU-vid, no disrupting noise and music in the background.

@nukem384 4 года назад

Thanks for the compliment! Sounds like you have a speed sensor issue. That's where I'd start. I don't think my tutorial will solve your problem, as the speedo is just showing info. from the data the ECU is gathering.

I love how the base model of the 2016 civic and up speedometer looks like!

@nukem384 5 лет назад

thats probably a better question for the forums. im not sure off hand, but it could be possible. youd probably have to mod the dash to get it to fit and if the wiring doesnt match up, youd probably have to mod that too

@keithnourse6829 2 года назад

Any ideas on why it would say I'm going faster then I am ? Is the speedometer broke or a bad sensor?

Bad sensor or something isn't calibrated. The actual speedo is just relaying numbers from the ECU, so it can't be "broken" in that way.

@nukem384 3 года назад

The SI gauge cluster has red numbers, so yes there has to be. How easy that is to do, that's another question. You'd have to take the gauge cluster apart, and figure out what kind of bulbs it uses and go from there. You might want to try the forums and see if you can find anything helpful from the gearheads over there. If anyone knows, they will.

@TastyCola 5 лет назад

Quick question, they said that I needed to change my cluster control module because my 08 civic si cluster was acting up. My rpms stay at 0 even when I’m driving and my mph don’t go up at all. I have random lights on like check engine, tpms,and, brake..etc.. the shop said I needed a whole new cluster but want to charge me 1200 to get a new one and install. What do you think I should do.

@nukem384 5 лет назад

try resetting your battery. if that doesnt fix it, yeah, you probably need that cluster control module. if all your lights arent working or being weird, then that would be the logical first step to try and fix it. but $1,200 is an absolute rip off. i think looking around online, the part was about $400. don't know where its located though, but i cant see if taking that much time to switch it out. maybe get a quote from somewhere else?

@nukem384 3 года назад

Thanks! I'm sure it's possible if you know how to hack, but most people are not going to know how to do that, and it's illegal of course. I would just take a look at the car and see what they seller has to say. Maybe the car was an extra car that has been sitting around for years? I would also Carfax it and check the vehicle history to see if there's any shady business going on. I had an 06 STi that I got rid of in 2018, with 43k miles on it, so....lol. And that car was exactly that, a weekend warrior that I didn't drive all that often.

Yes. The mileage is hooked up to your ECU. The speedo/fuel gauge just display info from the ECU

If anyoneis watching this video because their fuel gauge is inverted and not lighting up properly (which is very common on this generation Civic), there is no need to buy a new speedometer the fix will cost you nothing and its so easy a toddler can do it. After following directions you can find on youtube on how to remove the speedometer, unplug the speedometer, you’ll see its easy to open, there are no screws just clips all around the speedo that nees to be popped out with a flathead screwdriver, once you pop it open find regular packaging foam with a thickness of 3/4 inch to 1 inch max. Then cut the foam to fit behind the speedometer internals so when you close it the speedo its nice and tight. I figured this out after I noticed when i push the speedometer around the fuel guage area it would work briefly, I realized a little pressure deom behind should do the trick and its been over a year no problems. If you have any questions holla at me.

Hi Nukem384, thanks for your videos and quick responses to questions. I have a few of my own. Last night I was on a drive (2008 civic coupe Ex) and 5 min into driving I lost almost all dash info except fuel. 1. Is there a way to change the lower cluster I.e temp, rpm etc, if so, what to do? 2. Will it change the kilometres on the dash once complete 3. Anything else I should check before doing the job like battery, fuses etc? Thanks so much in advance

@nukem384 2 года назад

1. Yes you can change it out. Search YT, there are tutorials out there 2. Yes. I can't remember how to do it, but you can switch it pretty easily if I remember correctly. 3. I got this part for $20 used. Pretty cheap to give it a shot.

Hey nuxem 384!!!i wanted to ask that if I want to decrease my mileage only,do I have to remove the stereo system

@nukem384 6 лет назад

you cant thru the speedo gauge. in these newer cars with electronic mileage, it's housed in the ecu, that way you dont have to worry about it and its harder to do illegal stuff like turn the mileage back.

@naeemmuhammad6713 6 лет назад

nukem384 Thanks for your help,I really appreciate it.I wanted to reduce my mileage because I had a new engine but the speedometer was still saying 315000km on it which was the old engine mileage.If I didn’t reduce it,it will be harder to sell my car.

@nukem384 6 лет назад

got it, makes sense. i haven't really searched on how to turn mileage back on an electronic odometer, but im sure there's info on YT about that. im sure the dealership could do that, but they'll probably charge you an arm and a leg for something thats really easy to do for them.

@Currancchs 5 лет назад

The mileage recorded by the odometer is not of the engine, it is of the vehicle as a whole, since the whole vehicle wears out over time (i.e. rust, transmission wear, ball joints, suspension, paint, even wiring insulation!). Nobody is going to roll back an odometer for you because you swapped the motor. Asking a mechanic to do so would result in them either informing you that it would not be legal to do in your situation or angrily kicking you out of their shop, depending on whether or not they thought you were misinformed or asking them to engage in a criminal act and their temperament. Even if they were willing to do it, most wouldn't have the equipment or knowledge to do so. Although the dealer (most likely) could do it, they're only going to do it when you're replacing the odometer with a used one from a different vehicle so that it is accurate or in another special situation. To make sure that the resale value is kept as high as possible, keep your receipts for the engine purchase/install and advertise the vehicle as having "315km on the body, 20km on the motor" or similar. If you don't have receipts with mileage to show to a potential buyer, don't be surprised if they don't take you at your word.

Hello brother, I have 2006 Civic in India. It does not have mileage reading at the display as default. 1. Is it possible to add that reading there? 2. If yes, will it need a hardware (or software) upgrade?

@nukem384 4 года назад

Are you talking about on the bottom gauge? There's no mileage reading on this speedo gauge. You would definitely need new hardware to make that work. It's probably not possible because it's electronic, which means you'd have to mess with the ECU and unless you're really good with engineering/coding, probably not possible. Also, that might not even be legal as well.

Bro, i got 06civic and the speedometer is going crazy. Its the speed indication, speed disappears and shows 888. When it starts 3 months ago it wasnt that often. Now its very annoying, when i give a lil smash it can be ok for 10mins then go crazy again. Also, the gas gage inverted yesterday but now is ok after gave it lil punch. Do you think replace the speedometer will solve the speed problem. Thanks

Yes. I would definitely give this a try. The reason I replaced mine is because the gas gauge was inverting all the time. Pushing the unit helped, but only temporarily. I think this will fix both of your problems

The top piece is all one unit as you see in the video. I would give this is shot. If it was a fuse, the whole thing wouldn't work, not just pieces of it. It appears in your case, that the individual bulbs in the unit are dying, so a unit replacement will fix that.
