RB20DET speedo problem

[240+civic=pimp]

I HAve my swap all done and running but i cant get my speedo to work.I have the speed sensor pluged into the lower wire harness (the one that goes to the battery) and my speedo doesnt work.Any ideas?

the rb20 has a cable driven speedo.you will need to take the cable out of the clip and run it throught into the cabin some how.i ran mine near the accelearator pedal right under the heater core box.*edit* if you use the rb cluster you will have to run the speedo cable.sorry bout that.

Or you can just swap speed sensors with one from a manual ka24de transmission and it should work with the stock cluster.

I did run the ka24 speedo and it doesnt work

I guess check the wiring and see if it has continuity..etc.

would a sensor off a 89 ka24e auto work ?

i know its kind stupid question but it does not hurt to ask

[goofynick6]

Nope, has to be manual and a ka24de as far as I know.

I have a 90 ka24e manual. That sensor works just fine on my RB20det. But I'm not sure about the auto.

great news i can get a 24e sensor much easier

thanks

would someone be so kind as to post a pic of their speed sensor, the KA manual one, I bought one from a guy and tried swapping the cable for the electronic and it wouldn't fit so I assume I have an auto one.
