Nissan Maxima Speedometer and Tachometer Fix 

Man I love you! Just cleaned up those connectors on the back of the cluster like this on a Nissan skyline r33 GTR and it’s fixed my speedo!! I’ve been trying to figure that out for ages. If you’re ever in Bristol england I’ll buy you a beer!

I used a CFL in my trouble light, worked not bad, much cooler than a regular rough service bulb.... until welding splatter popped it. Been using a led bulb since. Great video Terry.

Terry, Loved the LED lights! Not too bad getting the speedo cluster out, I've seen some where they seem to build the car around it... Looks like a good fix! Cool video, thanks for posting!

Right on WTBM hope it keeps working for them. Have a good'nnn

Electrical problems, especially intermittent ones are a pain, sometime you never know what the problem was or if it really was fixed. Glad it's working

Good follow up Terry... I love the led bulbs also

Good video Terry

Gday all, to everyone with this issue, I seem to have solved the issue in my 2000 pulsar plus. I leaned all the connectors etc meticulously however couldn't solve it. I had the exact issue as In the video, tap dash and it came back in, after a few weeks it almost would never work though. I trouble shouted forever until I worked out exactly where the issue came from. Behind the speedo there are 4 screws securing that panel, the one above the screw labeled 'batt' is labeled 'gnd' or something similar referencing ground. I loosened this screw while all connected and found when I applied pressure I could keep the circuit working. I put an oversize conductive washer on and tightened rather tightly, which applied enough pressure. All the other screws were pretty tight, but I had to tighten this screw quite a bit more... In the video it said dont tighten too much cause they screw into plastic, however they screw into brass fixtures on the PC, so still dont tighten too much cause brass will strip easily, however u can go tight enough to solve this issue. Hope this helps someone, because I found it difficult getting a spare from wreckers, so kept trying until I got it. I suspect the problem will present again one day and I will have to resolder the pub, bit for now its ok

Hi there from New Zealand,my 1996 Nissan Maxima SL has a problem with it's tachometer so hopefully your video can solve it's problem.. Thanks for the information & enlightenment. 👍👍

nice vid...great when you just have to clean it and put it back together...leds are the future lol

Finally finished the video. It's good for it too be simple sometimes.

Thumbs man , Good repair !!

FYI: 1997 Maxima. Cruise control intermittent. Banging on dash can temporarily make it work. Cause has been loose screws on rear of cluster. 3 times in 22 years. Will also cause auto Trans o.d. light to flash. Code will indicate bad speed sensor (on top of transmission) Back screws off 1/4 turn then tighten all firmly by hand.

Nice fix Terry. I am going to try one of those LED bulbs.

Nice vid Terry and hopefully, you won't see the tach problem coming back.

I need some of them bulbs!!

that seems to be a universal first step method of diagnosis. . just bang on it... haha.. rubbing alcohol saved me from spending $1000 on an "nonserviceable" shift module.. thanks for the video

good video but my question is 'do Nissan UV ndovu trucks model 2007/8 has an voltage cable for RPM going to instrument cluster'

Probably find that it is bad solder joints on the speedometers circuit board. On my Nissan Primera P11 the Unified Meter Control Unit wouldn't display the odometer reading and the tachometer would sometimes glitch out and go crazy. I took the speedometer out and found one of the chips had no solder left on the pins. I've resoldered the whole board with fresh solder, and now it is working, hopefully the repair holds.

Nice fix- does that bulb work when it gets real cold ?

those screws on the back of the instrument cluster keep loosening over time, so i have to tighten them again every year or two. can i use superglue to ensure those screws never loosen again, but don't cause other problems (e.g., impact electrical contacts)?

That was good it acted up when it did so you could find the poor connection. Nice repair

Пойду постучу тоже.

I have similar kind of problem with my 2002 nissan pulsar ... Bump the dash, and all instruments start working again. I will try this ...

common for Nissan and infinitis..this year?

Im sure you waggled all the plugs and tapped the cluster while it was sitting on top of the steering cowling. From that flash of a wiring diagram at the end, i can see it has a link to the ecu for its data, if it goes silly again, just see if the ecu is in the dash and fondle its plugs ha ha :-D Ive never seen an inspection bulb like that before, looks like a plastic cast tube with a gas in side, similar to a compact flourescent bulb but a hell of a lot brighter. Looks dam good, and tough :-D

Car still runs good for a old girl.

that Tach has a reset ,by now i think you know how to reset it

Corrosion is the killer of powers and grounds. 11:46 that annoying yellow light on the gauge cluster.....told you about those high mileage 4th Gen Max knock sensors. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YUm5YuJh8Vs.html To be honest the cheap ones on Ebay last a pretty longtime and I am no fan of ebay parts.

I solder those damm screws in! Lifetime moneyback guarentee.

Darn printed circuits..Looks like you got it...For now anyway..

Not a bad car for being old enough to drink.

dont hit a bump. simple fix

Way off topic with your work light bulb... Goodness..!!

hi my friend another great video,i have left you a like,i hope we see you again soon at our channel to check out our latest video many thanks Adam Lynsey and kids.

This will not fix this issue, the issue is a bad speedometer modual circuit board that comes with it.
