Question for the OG Gear Head?????

[trs031]

I just need to know 2 quick things, I got a 95 GSR swap Bubble. N when I changed the Thermostat We drenched the FAN SWITCH right next to it accidentally. Its a sensor that has a plug on it near the Thermostat housing. I tried drying it with a Hair Dryer but i think its toast. DOES NE 1 Kno The Fan Switch's Bolt Thread Size???????????? da biggest I had was 7/8ths and that was still too small....


Now 2 days later My Speed Gauge ONLY isnt working no MPH's. My question is Do you think the VSS could of got soaked too. I dunt know where it is on this motor. Does it sound feasible??

NE Help is Greatly appreciated N I apologize if its been discussed cause I tried to do a search N didnt find nething.....

The spedo is below the t stat on the transmission clean it but good chance you will need to relaxe it and the fan switch is like a 18 or 19mm but should be ok to get wet

shouldnt have toasted the vss, just make sure its seated in the trans, my speedo stopped working and turned out the monkey that had the car before me didnt bolt the vss in all the way, caused my vtec to not work and everything, no bueno

dry out teh vss and youll be good to go.

unplug them, let it sit, die electric grease, plug them back in. you think sensors dont get wet when it rains? your good bro, dont over think the little things

So I replaced the Fan switch; 20 bux no biggie; I used a 15/16 deep socket... But the sPeedo I still gotta figure it out; Im gonna try to unplug it N dry it as recommended; Just Weird that the Speedo happened like 2 days later; I wonder if its just shot...


Ne Body Know if you can still pull blinking codes from a car with a swap??? I couldnt find the jumper harness...

Thanks Again Im really New to the Civic Scene; I Had a Acura Legend but it was a small but tight nit Community. We had alot of forum members fabricating parts Due to no aftermarket Support. I Like my Options wit the Civic Just Gotta get to know it better.....
