I have another cluster i picked up ,trying to get it illuminated. Was trying to do it out of the car. 2001 manual . i am not great with wiring. So far i got the brake and battery light illuminated. I think 64 is power for the lights. But i cant figure where it is?

I think this is from a 2000 .

 

The 2000 cluster and the 2001 cluster are almost identical. The 2001 cluster has a warning light for trunk open in the lower left corner, next to the door open warning light. The 2000 cluster does not have this.

According the the FSM, 12 volts is applied to pin 66 and ground is pin 59. Then you ground the pin to light up the various lamps.

If you look on page 113 of the 2001 EL section (http://boredmder.com/FSMs/Nissan/Maxima/2001/EL.pdf), this has a drawing of the cluster, both front and back. It also has the connectors and their pin numbers. Jumping to page 115, you will see the electrical diagram for the various lamps and the connector pin number it uses.

 

OK thank you ,i didn't know the lights grounded.

From what you said i actually have a 00 se cluster.

I was going in circles ,looking at 2000-2001 FSM. it is a little different than i thought.

Dam the car has 254,834 ,just found that out. It looked like hell.I got everything powered up thanks

OK only thing can't get to light up is the dials?
