Electrical Issue

Hey guys

Hoping someone can help.

My car is giving me a P1298 code with the following symptoms:

- My speedo doesn't work (every other gauge works)
- The light behind the mileage doesn't light up.
- When I pull the e-brake ALL of my "door ajar" lights come on.

I was dropping off my car for an inspection tomorrow (expires this month) so now I'm panicking. Thanks!

Thank you! I'm going to try this after work tonight.

Keep in mind, it could also possibly be the passenger side multiplexor.. Similar symptoms are found with failure of the driver side one, so this is my theory if Stunnas idea doesn't work.

In addition to Stunnas info, here is another link I found that is relative: http://www.justanswer.com/honda/2hw6d-p1298-code-open-short-circuit-code-speedometer.html

Hope this helps you out!
