Is your check engine light on? It could be a problem with your speed sensor (located on your tranny), or (god forbid) a problem with your ECU. I would think that the CEL would trip for this, though. If your CEL is on, pull the codes and find out.

Did this happen all of a sudden? Are you experiencing any other problems? What exactly is happening? Is it registering 0 miles?

It has something to do with the gears behind the guages getting stuck. Go here: http://www.angelfire.com/geek/vg30de...ix_Cluster.htm It is for a 300zx but the concept is the same. I need to do this to my car because mine will work for awhile and then stick for awhile. It sucks because I need to know when to change the oil and i like to see how my gas mileage is doing. anyway, good luck

Mine still does not work. Going on 8 months now. Maybe it's a gift from God due to the Maximas low resale value. I might fix it eventually ....Hum....
