Nissan Repair: 1993 Nissan SX Transmission,Odometer,panel lights, local wrecking yards, blown fuses


Question
Automatic transmission sometimes won't change into 2nd.  I can  pull over stop engine then it will change, also can't find any blown fuses but no panel lights or odometer function. Help please.
Thank you

Answer
Harris,

If the transmission is shifting intermittently I would change the fluid and filter and see if that frees things up.  Also a diagnostic test on the computer will tell if the car has a set code on the transmission.  Check out Autozone or Checker to get a free code reading.  On the instrument lights it will either be the dimmer on the dash or the headlight switch itself.  The odometer probably has a broken gear so that would have to be replaced.  Check out the local wrecking yards for a cluster.
