Use a volt meter. There should be a 5 volt signal going from the connector

ok, so i unhook the connector and tested it. one there is three hole on the connector. two came with no light and one tested positive. i used a volt light tester.

i was kind of surprise why only one be positive and two negatives, so i tested the map sensor connector and same results.


what could be wrong?

This might be a silly suggestion, but worth a try...

Have you double-checked all the fuses? Under-dash and under-hood?

When I blew the cig lighter fuse (ACC?) the speedo (and radio, IIRC) stopped working. I was on the highway and thought, "!!!!" The EPS might have stopped as well.

It was a long time ago and I don't remember all the details. I have a lot of random junk wired in there as well (yellow box, Racelogic, heated seat) so YMMV. Just trying to throw alternate suggestions out there.
