Default Please HELP!!! My gauge is not working.

Hi,

I was changing the bulb on my clock because i couldnt see the time at night. while i was replacing the little tiny bulb i had a short circuit and i saw a little spark. I usually see all the lights turn on right before u start the engine. but instead of all the lights turning on, I only see a red battery light turn on now. but it goes out after i start the engine. And now my speedometer, tachometer, odometer and my temperature doesn't want to work but my fuel gauge works. and also the first option on my wiper setting doesnt work but the other two works. I dont know why this is happening. Please help me. I dont know what speed i am going on so i end up going really slow on roads and freeways so i dont get pulled over. Please get to me as soon as possible.


THANK YOU VERY MUCH

P.S: I have an 1998 Honda Accord 4CYL SEDAN.

Don’t know? Did you look at the fuse label should say gauges or some thing. Did you check the under hood and under dash fuse boxes?

It is probably a under dash fuse I think the 98s had a passenger and driver under dash fuse box.
