Speedometer Problem Please Help
Hello, I recently bought a 2005 Maxima and the speedometer and odometer did not work the mileage is stuck in place and the speedometer never moves no matter how fast you are going. I thought maybe speed sensor after looking at some stuff on the internet but the strange thing is that the cruise control works perfectly fine. Everything i read said the cruise shouldn't work if its a bad sensor. So then i got point towards the gauge cluster. Well i bought one from eBay and put it in today and still same thing Odo and speedometer are a no go. I'm kinda at a loss now. I don't wanna spend a bunch more just trying things. I thought maybe you guys could point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a cluster problem to me. I had that in my old Maxima and was never able to fix. Try to find a good working used cluster and swap in. Or simply use your smartphone or GPS navigator for a speedometer.

Possible. Like anything possible when you get an electric problem in a Nissan. They used components designed to age and fail on purpose, to force us to buy new cars. This can be a cluster plug, or wire harness, or anything else. A ***** to diagnose, like I said.

yeah, my mechanic checked all the fuses with his tester under the hood and inside. all of them were good. I guess at this point my only option is to take it to the dealership if i ever want a speedometer again.

Didn't know wheel sensors could cause loss of the speedometer indicator....mine have been blinking for six months and I don't plan on replacing them..maybe I should.

One of my Maxima's (03) is going on 15 years...my 08 is approaching 10.
