K so my '97 DX has a tach in the gauge cluster, but my '98 DX doesnt. i pulled the cluster out of the '97 to put it into the '98. will my '98 have the wiring harness plug for the tach? or am i just wasting my time.

 

Direct swap, no wiring involved.

 

+1 My 97DX didnt have a tach untill recently. Only took about 5 minutes to swap clusters and everything worked without any complications. All the wiring plugged right in.

 

there is a orange plug on my old cluster that was behind the fuel gauge. i put the new cluster in and there is no spot for the orange plug. i left it unplugged so im goign to go for a test drive and fill the tank up to see if that is it. hopefully i dont have to pull out this cluster and install a big tach on the dash

 

The orange plug is only for ABS brakes, which I doubt you would have on a Civic DX.

 

ok sounds good.

 

Where would a good place to order new clusters for a 95 civic ex be
