I'm having the same issue. I'm ready to just hardwire it. 1996 Civic 5Sp. Ok, I've been working on my speedometer issues for quite a while now and am just really confused now. It does the normal thing where it will work sometimes and then quit???

I've replaced the VSS, replaced the Guage cluster with one that has 50K, I've cleaned the connection at the VSS. I've reseated all sorts of cables. Even taped the wires where they might be rubbing under the intake???

What I think I need to know is, what do the three wires coming off the VSS do...

I know the black one is ground.

The Blue/Wht one, does it go directly to the Speedometer???does it go to a computer first or what?

The Blck/ylw, does it supply 5V to the sensor? If so, from where.

I think What I need to do is, just maybe run separate wires from the sensor to it's finaly destination...

Let me know what you think.
