working on a 1993 Accord EX automatic. The temp gauge is not working, as well as the fuel gauge. I purchased a new temp/fuel combo gauge on ebay and it was different. Now I'm trying to purchase the whole instrument panel from a wrecking yard and they say there are two different brands, Nippon or Nippondenso. Problem is, I don't see anything marked on the instrument panel itself other than a few obscure numbers that don't look like Honda part #'s on the board, on the lens, etc. How do I tell what I have so I can purchase the right instrument panel and or just the fuel/temp gauge combo?

 

Can't remember exactly on the 4th gen's....look on the "black face" of the gauge unit from the drivers seat.. Should have some sort of marking kind of in the center near the bottom.

Something like "NS" or something like that. They are "Nippon Seiki" or "Denso"

 

Well, I tell you what. In this generation don't try taking apart the instrument panels and replacing just the fuel and temp gauge. The gauge is poorly constructed and when you go to tighten the screws in the back of the gauge the whole post inside the gauge turns and rips the hair fine copper wire attached to it. I destroyed two gauges this way before I figured out what was going on. 3rd try, I just replaced the whole IP with the mileage a little off. Done. Fuel and temp works again finally. What a nightmare.
