I have 2005 Maxima, my fuel gauge stopped working. I was told today that I need a new instrument cluster, quoted $1,300, that sounds way to high??

 

The same thing happened to me. Let me know what the solution is too please

 

What you guys need to do is run the self diagnostics on the instrument cluster. This will make the gauges point to a specific spot. In the case of the gas gauge, it should indicate about 1/3 of a tank. It takes a few seconds to position the needle.

See page 15 in the link below on how to do it.
