#21 of 60 2001 Nissan XE Pick -up by wingsovgrace Nov 28, 2007 (7:02 pm)
Instrument panel guages are not registering. Once in a while they will work correctly but it's just for a few minutes then the needles begin jumping around again. Everything else is working properly (i.e. lights, heater, radio, etc.) I would appreciate suggestions for troubleshooting or perhaps a wiring guide. Anything that might help is appreciated. Thanks
#22 of 60 Instrument panel gremlins by badfireguy Nov 28, 2007 (11:36 pm)
I'm going out on a limb here, but the first two things that come to my mind are: 1. check the connection from the wiring harness to the main instrument cluster. I have seen the ribbon wiring wear and lose connectivity.   2. Would you happen to have an aftermarket stereo installed in the dash? I hate to think that an installer would use the first power wire that they came across, but........I think you know where this is going. Any nick in the insulation of the wiring can and will cause a short anytime that it touches metal.   However, I happen to have the entire wiring diagram for my 2004 desert runner that I bought online. It is extremely accurate, and I would be happy to email it to you if you like. I really think that you are going to need a good multi meter and a lot of time to find the problem. Let me know if you would like the electrical schematics, I will be happy to send them to you free of charge.

#24 of 60 electrics on a Frontier 2003 by tobyj Nov 29, 2007 (10:27 am)
Hello! Recently, my 4 x 4 frontier electrics went wonky. The fuse for the dome and interior lights kept blowing, and now the Door Open sign is on ALL the time. The inside lights still don't work. I am woried that at some point, all my electrics will short out. Any ideas, anyone? Thanks Toby surtobygmail.com
#25 of 60 front end align. probs 01 4x4 by thaddyjoe Feb 20, 2008 (11:18 am)
My 2001 crew cab 4x4 just WILL NOT keep a front end alignment. It might stay aligned for two days but after switching to then from 4x4 it goes awry again.   I assume it's the alignment: there is a persistent shimmy in the steering wheel between 35 & 55 mph.   Anyone know of chronic probs on 01 Frontier w/ front end? What else can I check? TIA, Thad Replies to this message: badfireguy (Feb 20, 2008 7:18 pm)

Replying to: thaddyjoe (Feb 20, 2008 11:18 am) Thad, the first thing that I would look at would be the torsion bars. If you bend one of them the front end will be very difficult to keep in alignment and could definitely cause the wheel to vibrate. Does it pull to either side if you let go of the wheel?

Replying to: wingsovgrace (Nov 07, 2007 3:59 pm) My 06' and 07' frontier do the same thing! My friend is a former ford mechanic he says that is is common for them to do diagnostics on themselves. By the way mine does it daily after I turn the key off-- just sit in it for a couple of minutes after you turn it off you will see what I mean!

Replying to: wingsovgrace (Nov 07, 2007 3:59 pm) This is common since the 1998 model year (unreliable electronics) in instrument clusters. Don't buy used, expensive with same problems waiting. Call Mr. Wizard or search online, their tel. #1-888-803-8523. Cost $199.00 for repair of YOUR cluster assembly. YOU must remove and ship to them for repair. They will provide you with prepaid UPS label for shipping (as they are a canadian co.). Some people say you can drive the truck w/o instruments while it is out for repair, I don't know if this is wise, it's a personal choice.

My 98 Frontier truck-auto. 2wd. Keeps dying when I drive it just a short ways. It does it especially when stopped at light and does not seem to like hills. It just stops when driving! I have had many parts replaced to no avail! I am out of money and this truck is my only way to make an income! Thanks in advance!
