Replying to: falconsixty3 (Jul 05, 2007 6:56 am) The most likely candidates are either improper grounding or cracked solder on a circuit board.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper Replies to this message: falconsixty3 (Jul 05, 2007 10:30 am) sboger (Jul 17, 2007 5:30 am) falconsixty3 (Jul 17, 2007 8:48 am) falconsixty3 (Sep 04, 2007 12:04 pm)

Replying to: sboger (Jul 17, 2007 5:30 am) I have not yet. I haven't got a chance to get under the dash and look. But apparently there was a technical service bulletin about there being a faulty ground somewhere under/behind the dash.   Now it has gotten to where the speedometer will freeze where it is sometimes along with the tachometer. I'm off work today, so i try and get it to act up. The problem has been that it always acts up where I can't get a chance to look at it.   I'll let you know if i can figure anything out.

Replying to: sboger (Jul 17, 2007 5:30 am) I took out he gauge cluster and the circuit board had a spot on it that looked like it had gotten hot. It would be in the top left hand corner of the gauges if you were facing them.   Since I wasn't 100% sure if that was it, put it back together. I have noticed that the left side of the gauges gets hot sometimes though. I've thought about drilling a small hole in the plastic cover and waiting until it goes out again, and spraying something like air duster in it to see if they come back on when it cools off.   I'm pretty sure, the actual circuit board is the problem. I have kept a close eye on how hot the gauges get, and I try to turn the illumination down at night so they won't get too hot then also.

Replying to: falconsixty3 (Jul 05, 2007 6:56 am) I have a 2000 XE. Have the same problem with gauges i.e., it will just go out and then it will come back. Sometimes it takes a while before it comes bak. I have this checked with Nissan service and they couldn't figure it out because they couldn't duplicate the same problem. To do that, you would need to have the mechanic sit with you while driving till you experience the problem. I have a mechanic friend he couldn't figure it out either.
