Hi I am having a problem with my digital dash display and heads up display...they seemed to only work depending on if it was very warm outside...now they are not working at all...the guy I bought the car off of told me that he unhooked the battery every year for about 6 months while he travelled and kept it stored...would this have any effect on why it is not working.

 

I would say to look into getting a gauge conversion. digital sucks!!!! white faced gauges are the best!!!!!

 

How difficult is it to convert...and where would be the best place to purchase the new ones...are there any how to's on this site.

 

It is not working because it has gotten old and stops working. I don't remmember if it's due to solder or capacitors or what, but it is like alot of cirucuit boards and breaks down. I don't know if you can use regular gauges or not. The digital dash is expensive from Nissan. Somewhere there is/was a guy mentioned on the forum I think, that repairs those digital dashes-so do a search, or try a google search.

 

thanks I will try the search.

 

Common thing for the digital dash. The computer on the back goes out. Mine did the same, first it would take 5 minutes in cold weather to come on. As time went by it would increase and increase until it finally quit.

Nissan charges over $1000 just for the part, a bunch more for the labor. The unit is very very very easy to remove. I took the whole unit out and mailed it to a guy for repair. Cost me $300. He guranteed it for one year. That was about three years ago, works fine still.

I posted the site in the past. If you can search, you'll be able to find a couple places that repair them...

Just think though, now you're not running the mileage on your car
