Nissan Repair: 1994 Infiniti dashboard lights, dashboard lights, soft towel


Question
My dashboard lights where the tachometer is wont work. How do I fix this?

Answer
Khamillah,

Remove the cluster and replace the bulbs on the back of the cluster.  You will need to drop the column to get the cluster out.  So, start by removing the knee bolster and then the two bolts that hold the steering column up.  Drop it into the seat.  No need to remove it further.  Now, remove the trim that covers the cluster and then the four screws that hold the cluster and pull it out and disconnect the harness.  Now, flip the cluster over on a soft towel as not to scratch the lense and remove the bulbs that are blown.  Go to Radio Shack and match them up.  The dealer wants like $10 bucks for two.  Radio Shack sells them for about $1 each.
