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.
