dash went crazy OD said 9999999 and tach

I started up my 98 frontier and the dash went crazy(od said 9999999, tach was twitching, fuel was passed full) any Idea what I should check. maybe the computer went wacky. or maybe I lost a ground. Anyone have problems with this before. Thanks for the help.

Anyone have an Idea where the ECU is located on a frontier? I have the dash removed (I was checking all the grounds) Is it located in or under the dash or out under the hood?

[quote=need2fix99]Anyone have an Idea where the ECU is ....

I can tell ya on the bike but would assume it is under the hood. I am not sure that with what you are describing you will be able to determine where it is coming from with out help from a nissan service guy.
(.02 cents and that is over priced)

The ECU should be under the passenger seat.
