Default A few more problems with the b16 crx

Thanks for helping me with my idle problem I had before, I have a few more questions though. The car is a 1990 crx hf w/ a b16a, whenever I put the car in reverse, the autometer tach reads whatever the motor is reving at, but the car's stock tach drops to zero, and the car starts running a little rough. If I give it gas, it has no problem, but it almost feels like it has a short somewhere. When I asked on hondaswap, they said that when you swap a b16a into an hf there are 3 wires you had to change, but nobody could tell me what or where those 3 wires were. Ok, 2nd problem is the car came with an aftermarket pilot steering wheel that didn't have the horn hooked up. I took it apart this weekend trying to get the horn to work, but I couldn't find it. Does anybody have a wiring diagram for a crx, I can get one by this weekend, but if somebody has one available, then it would just save me some time. The last problem I have is the car has kyb 4 way adjustable coilovers, and the suspension squeaks when I go over bumps and stuff, but it also squeaks a lot when I steer on level surfaces. Has anyone had that problem before, I haven't messed with it yet, but don't really know how it would be fixed. Thanks in advance once again for any help.

that is fucking weird, the car sometimes shoots a code 6 and goes into safety mode where it doesn't let me shift past 7000 rpm. Any ideas besides on unplugging those cables?

finally fixed the car, no reverse problems or CEL codes. On hondaswap.com they told me to look at the pinouts, that the crx hf has an extra wire that the crx si doesn't have. I looked at it, and it is in the B plug, B9 (green/black) once I cut it, I still had my reverse lights working, and the car wouldn't act weird anymore and no CEL lights would turn on anymore. I still have to fix the horn, but I think I can figure that one out. Does anyone have any ideas on how to stop the squeaking from steering and suspension? Thanks for the help though.
