hey everyone, i have a 94 si coupe, the entire dash lights dont work, no lights on cluster, or behind any of the buttons for the hazards, or reardefog, i swapped out the fuse and still nothing, not sure if its the bulbs..can all them go at once?.. if you have any ideas or any intel on what happened or how to fix it please email me at carde34@gmail.com thanks alot!

Well instead of emailing ill reply here.

Also this has been covered more then a dozen of times but here we go again.

Its not the fuse and its not the bulbs. The problem is the dimmer control. I believe you can take it apart and resolder few wires (google for diy) or just go to a scrap yard and pick up another one. There are many eg's in the scrap yards and finding a working one isn't impossible.

the dimmer on the dash? near the cruise button? that controls how bright everything goes? that dimmer?

D.T.P

Yes, that is the cause of the dash not lighting up. Since its an inline control module, if it fails all fail.

I need to look at a wiring diagram but I believe if you jump the harness you can make all lights go on on the brightest setting. Ill check tomorrow, it would be an easy way to check If its the switches fault for malfunction.

okay, sweet ill just pick up another dimmer control then, and also do you know of any body swaps i can do for my 94 si coupe?, i wanna change the front end to something else, like you can change the ek to a el, i wanna change the front, let me know thanks.

D.T.P

please....please do not change the front end.
unless its gonna be a 4dr front end, do not change to anything.
It really doesnt look good. i know there was only 1 yes just one single eg hatch that pulled off an jdm integra front end. Otherwise all look off or silly.

Oh and yeah sorry never got around to checking the diagrams or testing my dimmer for power leads. Way too busy nowadays.

carde34

thats alright, uhm i just wanna look into it, what year integra can i swap the front end to? that will fit direct bolt, and also will EL seats fit in my 94 civic si coupe? i need new interior let me know asap thanks!

D.T.P

no front end will fit directly other than the one thats made for the car.
EL seats will not be direct bolt in. Get any 94-01 integra seats, the fronts fit 100%

carde34

okay, what front end would fit the best, with modification, ive seen the 94-01 integra and the jdm one piece headlight front end aswell. which would be easier

D.T.P

Does this really look good to you?
IMO stick with the front end you have, but its your car...

tronix

carde34

yah, ill stick to my si lol, if i was to change it it would only be with the jdm one piece headlights for the teg. thanks tho guys!
