Hi
To solve the issue of the speedometer,I will put another instrument cluster (155k miles).........But I have something in my mind , Is it possible after several thousand or so , the cluster will go nuts again and becomes like the one replaced !?? Will it work well for some time ? is a cluster thingy going bad is a common peoblem in Maxima 4th gen ??

Thanks

 

It's not an extremely common problem (bad coils on the '99s, KS, license plate light bracket rusted to holy hell), it just happens sometimes.

Of course it's possible, but it's also possible that it'll burst into flames and consume your body alive. Possible, but unlikely.

 

lmao, wow

just put the cluster in and find out....

 

I haven't had much luck with replacing these things with used ones. I think they're relatively delicate and don't survive wrecks very well.

The original cluster threw a VSS code 2 years ago so I got one from a junk yard. It fixed the cel but the odo quit a month later. Bought another one off ebay and now the tach is sticking.

I still have the other two with working tachs, but all the colors are different. The original has white face with red needles, the second has black face with white/black needles, and the current one has white face with white/black needles. So no matter how i mix this up it's going to look retarded.

 

I see.....
I installed mine today,Can I replace the front transperent glass from my old clean one to the newly installed one ? my previous glass is much cleaner than the new one.......ONLY the front glass of the cluster ?

 

It's not glass, but yes. There are a few clips holding it in place around the perimeter of the cluster.

 

Thanks alot pmohr

 

i replaced my old speedometer that had 117k that was throwing a vss code with one that had 14xk, still works great

 

I have a 97 with a manual odometer. Then I saw a blacked out gauge from a JDM Cefiro, but it has a digital odometer. Will it be a bolt-on affair or do I've to mod it to make the odometer work?

 

i don't think it will work, but i'm not sure of what would be necessary to mod it to make it work, if thats even possible

 

When did you replace it ? (how much time it's working fine) ?

 

It would probably 'bolt in', but the wiring is different.

It would most likely be just like any other digital odometer swap in the A32:

Wait. Did that answer his cluster question or is this site messed up right now? It sounds like you answered a Maxima Reliability question. lol

 

Answered his cluster question.

 

ive only put a little less than 10,000 miles on it
