So, I just finished soldering up all the wires that are used for the 94-99 gsr cluster swap into the 90-91 CRX. I used these as points of reference...

Now, The first time I turned the key to on, everything lit up like it should, CEL turned on, then off (cycling the ecu), fuel pump ran. EVERYTHING but the turn signals worked from what I could tell. I didnt test to see if the ebrake light would turn off or if the seatbelt light would turn off.

I cranked it over, and it ran for 1 second before dying, I checked my kill switches, and tried again. This time I didnt get any power to the gauges at all, so I checked my fuses. One of them was melted and another was blown. Both 10A fuses, one for the alternator solenoid and the other was the switched power to cluster fuse (14 I think). I put a new fuse in each spot, and tried again, this time it immediately blew the alternator solenoid fuse again. Is there some wires in those sites that are not correct? Do I just have a short across some of my wires? Any idea what I did wrong?

This is a revised list of wiring that I had to do from that first link because some things were on there wrong...

no idea. I replaced the fuses it blew/melted, and it blew #14 again. Went inside for a bit becasue it started to rain. Went back out, replaced the fuse again and it was fine. I have no idea wtf was up with that.

BUT I am having another problem. Can someone with a newer honda, tell me the oder of the wires on the plug for the electric vss? I also need to know which pin the signal wire goes to on the ecu and gauge cluster. I cant get my speedo to work to save my life.
