dash cluster trunk light
i noticed that my trunk open warning light on my dash doesnt illuminate anymore. so i took my gauge cluster out, removed all of the socket bulbs from where i believe the trunk open light is/was. i held it up to the light when i removed the bulb from the socket, to see what was what. i.e. door open, service engine, abs, seat belt, etc. and to my surprise, there was no trunk open light section. i did notice though the low washer fluid light which is pretty cool.
now maybe i just forgotten where the bulb is, but i removed every bulb and its either missing, or is it attached to the door open light...because if so, it doesn't illuminate...but the light in the trunk does turn on when its open, and my aftermarket alarm also goes off when the trunk opens. (i thought maybe the trunk trigger wire was shorted somewhere, and not sending the signal that my trunk was open to the dash)
i guess im asking...where is this light?! can someone perhaps take a pic of their dash w the light on because i cant remember where it was for the life of me.

Check out the meters and gauges section, the 98 doesn't have it either. I think only 5th gen's and up had the trunk light? My 2001 Anniversary Edition cluster has the trunk light, but I just left it disconnected because there is no corresponding wire in the 4th gen harness.

NISSAN: the inconvenience you have caused me is catastrophic. you should credit me, and all maxima owners the cost of a dash cluster remanufacture w the trunk light and re wire in the form of cash or paypal. i (for one) shall invest this credit into the 19" wheels i have been itching for. hahaha

there is a TSB by Nissan to fix this so your trunk only opens when your car is stopped (i think it taps the park/neutral switch ) or soemthing along those line.
