AKATV 839 Posted March 12, 2021 Hi Post a few pics if you could, and ditto on retros comment above I can get you taken care of just need a little more info/detail on what you have going on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
99-450ES 0 Posted March 12, 2021 Not a single flicker or light of any kind. Just started to pull it off the machine. Hand traced the wires back to where they plug. Easiest way to find the plug or get to it? Pictures is with key on, running, with lights in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKATV 839 Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) Welcome to the Forum too by the way! Thanks for the picture Plug is under the left inner fender, might have to remove inner fender well to get at it better The gray plug is a bear to get undone- use WD40 and hold you mouth just right- you will learn new swear words But -if you want to send me the circuit card just open the speedometer and take it out it just unplugs. I have the harness and all that here on my end If you are not getting even a neutral light,you might have bigger problems Do ANY of the LED lights come on? If you have no backlight with headlights on, you are looking at more to repair than the display That open hole probably let a lot of water in to damage the circuit board as well If you want me to give it a shot I will PM you my contact info If I cant repair it, there is no charge Have'nt had one beat me yet lol (knocks on wood) AKATV Edited March 12, 2021 by AKATV 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,147 Posted March 12, 2021 Welcome to atvhonda ..... I pulled the meter off a 450 ES a coupe of weeks ago , the plug goes to the left side , right next to number 14 in this pic , the wiring harness connector for that meter had a metal clip that holds it to the frame , which made it hard , the meter end of the plug needed to be pulled towards #14 which is right in the way 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

99-450ES 0 Posted March 12, 2021 Does anyone know if a AKATV can’t fix my display unit if there is one from a different model that will plug-in and work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,719 Posted March 12, 2021 Looks like 98, 99, 00 450ES meters are the same. https://www.partzilla.com/product/honda/37200-HN0-A12?ref=f9d8ade19f28c8a14ba241cefb290fb49a1f29e0 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
