Default Speedometer acting weird.

I have a 1999 civic ex sedan and my speedometer stopped working today. Doesnt read anything unless im braking. Also my brake light came on but im 90% sure thats unrelated. Any thoughts?

Check the speed sensor and its plug, its located on top of the Trans, not hard to find it.

If it's the E brake light that pops up, this is a simple sensor issue, it happens when it gets cold usually. The sensor is located by the E brake under the console, The sensor can be replaced easily.

Agree with wunfstgsr on the speed sensor plug having a bad connection.

For the brake light, it could also be that your brake master cylinder reservoir is low on fluid.

Yes, that's the first thing you should check!
