ok i have a problem i got this digital gauge cluster from a freind, he cant remember what it was out of cause he got it from his freind, well anyways i put it in my car and it only shows up as km/h, and i kno that you can turn the switch to change from mph to kmh..but mine doesnt, its stays on kmh,

ive messed with thing for hours one night and it still just kmh, as seen in this pic that there isnt anything above that switch it only says that, i push it in nothing, i turn it to the left, nothing, i turn it to the right, nothing, i push and hold it down and turn the ignition on, it does like a little scroll thing and then it goes blank for a few seconds and then shows kmh, frustrating, ok ive been reading that i might have a sohc but to me it doesnt look like one, it looks like a dohc, and some ppl are saying that it might be the speed sensor, true or not true, ive read that they change a transitor or compassitor in the digital gauge to make it come up, but thats only if it doesnt show, do i have to do that. ive been reaserching and im continueing but haveing no luck,, any sugestions? do i need to sell it to somebody, or do i need to get the hud. or could that be the problem,

thanks everybody, stephen

ps as you can see down here there is the digital gauge, and bottom the stock (dohc) gauge from my 93 hatchhttp://content.bolt.com/uploads5/photo/1/1/2/2/4/7/3/1122473/small/1160864021291.jpg (/greenbeast2008/photo/gauges4/2424348)

My guess is, you got a JDM one cause i never seen a USDM one redline that high to 9k (other then a KA24DE?)

And, notice your MPH-KMH markings aboee the switch is not there.

yeah i see that. ive wondered if it was imported from japan or canada or some other non mph users. gosh what are you telling me here, is it possible to switch it, like rewire something in the gauge? ive read that one thread you think i should try it, hmm yeah ill try it, if it doesnt work after that, than ill put the stock one back in there but that one has troubles too, but ill just see
