Detailed video on removal, installation, and wiring of an OEM Honda Gauge Cluster with Tachometer into a 1991 Honda Acty SDX Special Thanks to AllThingZJDM for the cluster. Special Thanks to "JustCJ" for the background tracks!
Amazing video! Great info. Was stumbling upon various kei truck vids, and yours came up. Must say, very impressed. I'm actually in the market for a kei truck, so understanding on how to work on them is vital.
Ron - outstanding video!! You make things look so easy (as they never really are). I can totally do that (IF I can find one LOL). Thank you again my friend for your knowledge & time. You are much appreciated!
Thank YOU for watching and the positive feedback. Helping folks is what I’m after and having fun doing it. And yes, there are more off camera “shenanigans” than anyone will ever know. You guys get the highlight reel only!😂
Thanks Ron! Great video. Good to know where that tach signal wire is under the dash for future reference... If I can find a tach cluster and get Minny MiMi to send it over.
Thank you kindly. Yes! Blue tach wire under the dash was a great find. Honda typically has that available somewhere in non-tach from the factory cars throughout the 90s models.
Nice work! I wish I saw this before I put in an aftermarket tach on my truck, although idk if I’d have the patience to do what it takes to get it installed…🤷🏻♂️🤔😂. FYI, I got solder seal wire connectors from AMZN. It has the solder inside, so you just twist the wires together, slide the connector over and heat shrink.
I have two tach clusters that have 16-pin and 6-pin connectors (instead of 12 and 6). I guess I will have to figure this out from scratch! Great video though, Ron! Also, the pins are different sizes on 16 and 6 pin...cant swap them over to other plug.
Great video, I am looking into adding a tachometer somehow on my 1992 HA4 and am undecided if i want to go this route or a external setup like glow shift or whatnot. Its hard finding a 3 cylinder tach that looks decent.
Dude, I can not for the life of me get that speedometer needle situated back in its original spot. It's driving me mad! How did you get it back in so easily?
So the two new plugs would not accept the pin terminals from the older single plugs. That would have been nice if they did. Slightly different size and style.
Do you happen to recall the bulb size and how many there are? I’m fairly certain I’ve got a few that are burnt out and would like to have them before I start taking stuff apart.
Hey hows it going! So, I have an extra cluster with tach here I can sell. Or I buy them through Exporting AllThingzJDM Facebook group. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks!
Im not sure. Depends on what the Acty sender is sending signal-wise. And what signal the digitial fuel gauge accepts. As old as these trucks are, I cant say they would work easily together. Although not impossible.
Ron - Thanks for this. I've watched it a few times and I assume that the actual electrical pins are different between to the original plug and the new plugs that you had to graft on, correct? Any idea where to get the original style electrical pins? Or, perhaps better yet, and interest in selling the left over pins? My Acty has the same issue you found when you pulled it apart: a few over pins became brittle and the springy part snapped off. I can't seem to find replacements anywhere. Thanks!
Not sure if I am blind and missed it but what cluster is this? I want to do this swap but there seems to be a few different versions of this cluster and idk which one is the right one to get
Hey Stephen! Sorry for the late response. Mine is the Power Probe III with case kit. I believe its around $150. Easy to find on amazon or a google search. I don’t know what life is without one now. Lol. Thanks!
Hey Ron, my green lights that light up the cluster aren’t working. Any ideas what I can do to trouble shoot? I’ve switched bulbs with working ones without success. No visible corrosion.
So some on Yahoo Auctions have pigtails and some do not. Jusr depends on what you find. AllThingzJDM can get you whatever you are able to find on Yahoo auction. Thanks!
Sorry bud, not sure. I would think the connectors are different. The speedometer cable may be similar but I would not count on the wiring to be the same.
@@rejeanboudreau6647 I would need to have the pigtail in your existing truck to trace down the wiring. Unfortunately I do not think I can help without the truck and harness/cluster in hand.
I hope the video didn't deter you from installing! It's well worth the effort. I had no idea what RPM this little engine was at. Seems as though 5500rpm is about max shift rpm for engine long term health. lol
@@rhd_ron oh, not at all. I'm definitely more confident in it now. My issue is the cluster I bought with the tach has a pretty messed up front cover. If my stock one won't transfer over the cluster I have might not be worth swapping.
