Dashboard Lights and Gauges

My guess would be a bad dimmer switch or a loose ground connection caused be a aftermarket radio being installed. Hope it helps!!! Slackers Of Va.

What is the chrage when the vehicle is on? It should be around 15-15.5v

You should go visit your Dr. for a physical He should check your ears for infection, or wax, blood pressure and the rest. Make sure you are eating balanced meals, including protein, vegetables and fruit and the right kinds of carbohydrates.

It is on because there is a problem with the SRS. I advise you to not attempt to repair this yourself. Working on the SRS can be very dangerous, and you may cause the air bag to deploy, costing you plenty. Take it to a professional for repair.

90% of the time this is a ground issue. Mostly cause of rust. If not, you have a bad sending unit, which is in the tank. However it is a problem. The easiest way to go about this is to carry 2 gallons of gas with you at all times, so you won't get stuck on the rd somewhere. Replacing can be costly and should be done by someone that knows what they are doing. You could strike a spark and get yourself on fire, by doing this procedure of fixing it yourself.

The question you ask is too involved for a proper answer. You may want to go to a car parts store, or book store, and get a repair manual for your car. They cost about $16.00 Or, go to a Public Library.

The airbag light stays on when the computer detects a malfunction and sets a code.

Cowen

Have the same problem...you need to see if it is a lose solder so you can remove the dash screws and pull out the head or you can see if you have a sensor. Look behind the oil filter and there should be a box with a wire the wire will run back to the speedometer head. Sometimes a quick fix can be to GENTLY push the wires toward the sensor. If none of this works take it in to the Nissan dealer and get it fixed it costs around 150 dollars. Check the fuses in the box they will be labeled cluster interior or dash.b Also check the fuseable links.

If you mean the warning light just to the left of your engine temperature

gauge that means that the engine coolant level in the coolant reservoir is

low

the dealer or a shop needs to read the computer with there scanners

Yes.

Check the oil level in the car.

Sounds like the Hazard warning light. Check to see if they are on. Look in your owner's manual if you have one. If not, you need to get one. I have the same problem in my 2001. It is the Check Transaxle light. Most likely dealing with the transmission. Probably just low fluid.

Any SRS warning light with a corresponding code is serious. Take it to a professional as this is not a DIY repair.

Turn the key on but don't start it. and pump the gas pedal 3 times quickly this should turn it off.

Dunno about turning the vehicle off and pumping the gas (Someone's joke I guess). But the instrument cluster has a switch (on the back) on the Speedometer end of the cluster. Switch it up. I was replacing my steering wheel and then decided to try this. I did, and my MAINT REQ light is currently off. Unplug your battery, and remove the steering wheel. The steering wheel was the easiest steering wheel I have EVER removed. There are 4, 10mm nuts on the backside of the steering wheel. That removes the Airbag/center of the steering wheel. With the battery disconnected, unplug the 3 plugs that operate the airbag, remove Airbag/center. Now exposed is a 17mm nut in the center of the steering wheel, remove it. Now simply rock the steering wheel back and forth, side to side while pulling it toward the rear of the vehicle. NO STEERING WHEEL PULLER IS REQUIRED. I've done this twice on two separate vehicles and did not need a steering wheel puller. Now you can remove 3 simple phillip head screws on the dash to expose the cluster. Then you will see 3 more phillip head screws holding the cluster, remove them and then the cluster is free except for what is plugged into it. I unplugged everything to remove the cluster entirely. But now that I know where the switch is I think I could just reach to the backside and flick it up. One REAL BIG KEY HERE. DO NOT TURN THE IGNITION KEY ON TO CHECK THE LIGHT WHITHOUT THE AIRBAG HOOKED UP! Because if you do, the SRS light will come on because it is not reading a valid connection with the Airbag. That's where I am now, trying to figure out how to turn out the SRS light. Anyway, I know that whole operation sounds complicated, but it is not. On a scale of 1-5, i'd rate it a 2 (at the most!). It took me just more than one hour. Having done it twice now, I'd bet I could do it in 40 min or less, no joke. I'm guessin you don't have to remove the steering wheel to get to the instrument cluster, but it was pretty easy. Good luck, I hope this has helped and by all means please post some mechanical information to help someone else so we can all share. Thanks, Brownsoxx

Somewhat following the above info: I removed the two Phillips screws in the front of the speedometer panel and the one between the panel and the windshield(you will need a very short screwdriver for this). The screw is underneath a small rectangular plastic tab. Next, pull the cover forward, you will need to disconnect the wires on the left side of the panel, in my case it was the cruise control switch and three other connectors in the back. Swing the panel over so you can look in the back of it. Next, on the left side of the panel you will find a small, black, slide-type switch. Just reset the switch, put everything back the way it was, and you're done. I didn't have to remove the steering wheel. The actual job takes about 15 minutes. I don't think it can be done without removing the panel. Thanks to the original poster--you saved my butt. I needed to get it smogged and it would not have passed with the "maint" light on. The mechanic I took it to didn't know how to reset the stupid light.

Fix it, or have it fixed.

Have it diagnosed properly to know what needs fixing. The main possibilites are failed glow plugs, the glow plug harness could have issues or the glow plug controller.

All the other answers I have found states that it relates to low tire pressure.

It is your tire pressure monitoring system or TPMS. If that light is on check your tire pressure, it will also come on if you put on your spare or take out your TPMS.

You have a problem with your braking system. I suggest you check the brake fluid in the Master Cylinder and if it is ok, seek help from a professional.

Bulb Troubleshooting (check in this order):

· Check Fuses

· Check Bulbs

· Check Relay(s)

· Check Light Switch(es)

· Check license plate light bulb and wiring

· Check trailer hitch wiring harness

· Check all wiring harnesses and wire

Most likely its the fuse or a burnt bulb breaking the circuit. Sometimes the license plate and/or the trailer hitch is wired into other circuits and can cause issues in other areas. Sometimes its wires grounding out somewhere on the vehicle. See sources and related links below for bulb information. See owner's manual for location and identification of fuses as well as for bulb replacement procedures.
