Instrument cluster gauges not working - 2000
I just purchased a high mileage 2000 Maxima GLE and the instrument cluster gauges (gas,tach,speed,temp) are intermittenly mal-functioning. When car is cold, they work fine, but when it warms up and you drive for about 30 minutes, they all shut down. Not sure how to diagnose the problem. Appreciate help.

start with process of elimination, get another cluster from the scrapyard and swap it out(google how to replace it) see if same thing happens. This will tell you if its wiring with your car or with the cluster.

Check the fuses first. There's a couple easy to short things on the GAUGE fuse circuit. The prongs that hold the fuse or the fuse itself could be bad and coming loose intermittently.
The GAUGES fuse is in the fuse panel inside the car.
Check cheapest easiest things first.

Then again, who knows what the OP means by "WARMS UP", maybe you're right. I just assumed he means when the engine gets up to operating temps.
Clarification would help I suppose

All due respect, but do you really think electrical wires/solder joints take a long time to 'warm up'? This might be true for sensors in the engine bay that will get much hotter as the engine warms, but not for in-cab electronics.

After all these years the clusters seem to die out(our cars aren't the greatest when it comes to electronic durability) *shrug*

Meh these cars are better than a lot, but not the best by far. Front end issues are ridiculous.
But yeah, some stuff gets hotter than others., the Gauge cluster is a simple thing, it doesn't get very hot at all, and it gets to 'temp' pretty much right away (1-2 minutes)
