Dieing Guage Cluster
OK so here's my story. I bought my Xterra about 2 monthes ago, it's a 2000, 3.3liter, 5 speed, 4X4. Anyways, I'm driving, and the guages die. Usually, though sometimes it can be different, the gas guage will stay where it is, the speedometer, tach, and temp guage all die, kinda like when the car is shut off. Sometimes they can stick. The gas guage never moves, but sometimes the tach will stay stuck where it is, or the speedometer will stay stuck. Anyways, took it to the dealership, couldn't duplicate the problem, so they didn't do anything. When I got the car back, I drove it around till they died again, and took it back. This time they found a loose wire going to the speedometer. Didn't fix the problem. I eventually noticed that it seems to happen when the headlights are on. So I tried driving the car with the headlights on, and the switch that controls the the brightness of the dashboard lights comeletely off. And the problems seems to not happen then. So I take it back to the dealership yet a third time. This time I tell them of my discovery, they checked it out, and there was a short in the dashboard light dimmer switch. So they replaced it. And of course, the problem still exsists. All together they have had my car for almost a month, and the total work they've done is, fixed a loose wire and replaced a switch, but never fixed the problem. It is uber annoying. Please, if anybody has any idea, I'm dieing here.
