    You might want to double check your key switch to make sure it’s turning power off

    if so, then it sounds like you might have a short down on your lower speedometer plug possibly
    You want to check on the back of that circuit card- There’s a red/ black wire, which is a constant power to hold up your clock memory

    Your other power wire is a Brown/black wire which is your key on power

    make sure you use the green wire as ground

    You want to make sure you have constant power at the red/black wire and that you only have power at the brown/black wire when you turn the key on

    If you find that you have power at the brown/black wire with key off, you might want to check your lower plug to make sure that the pins inside the plug or not water damaged and corroded shorting power down below.

    Also, keep an eye open while you’re looking around for any hack job wiring, mouse chewing, etc..

    Let us know what you find

    Thanks for the pictures

    Actually, that’s not in too bad of shape

    It appears to be functioning normally

    You do not have anything showing up in the gear position area, but that most likely is a sensor or wiring issue

    I’m assuming that your buttons work and if your speed is registering properly, then you most likely don’t have any major issues with the circuit card or display

    I do see some sun damage to the upper polarizing film but since it’s still readable, it’s purely cosmetic

    If your top plastic cover is cloudy, you can most likely polish it out with an automotive plastic headlight polishing kit they sell them at Walmart and similar for between 10 and $20  and with a little bit of elbow grease I have had many customers get the top covers as clear as new

    If you have any other questions or need any additional information, just let us know

    Amazon parts most likely =China garbage, which is going to make headaches for you- guaranteed

    if that TPS came on an Amazon carb that might be part of your issue

    Just out of curiosity, is your speed reading correct on the meter? -If not it, will go into limp mode

    I only asked because you said it was hard to see meter at times, you might want to open the speedo

    and make sure you dont have water damages in there- if you have flickering LEDs that is a sign for sure

    Keep us updated

    The flashing is a code -count the number of flashes and refer to the service manual

    or post the number here and we can start to identify an area to start

    Welcome to the forum

     Sounds like you’ve been doing some great  troubleshooting and as you have probably found out -the red and black wire is your constant power which is your clock hold up, and your brown/black wire  is your “key on” power and should power up your CPU and turn your display on
    Make sure you have 12 V at the red/black wire and the brown/black wire with the key on

    using your green wire for ground -not only at the plug but on the top side of the board were the pins are soldered

    If you have it there, you most likely have a CPU going out or gone out on your board  and the board will need to be replaced as the CPU chip, It’s not replaceable at least at a cost effective level

    I will send my contact information to your message box as well

    Welcome to the forum

    Jeep is correct on that, unfortunately it 

    is not repairable but should be fairly easy to order one through Honda, plus I have seen them on Ebay from time to time as well

    Welcome to the forum

    I am pretty sure that is the end of of that LCD with that crack, unfortunately

    They are not repairable and getting harder to find

    If you want to send it to to me i can go through it and see what you need

    Welcome to the forum!

    Post a few pictures of it if you can and maybe a few details- do you know if it has water damage internally, or anything like that?

    What’s the history of the machine? Do you know if the display has ever worked or when it stopped working?

    I’ll send my contact information to your message box
