Question
2001 Nissan Maxima GLE. Question, my LED Odometer lamp only lights up after the lights are on for about 1 minute or so. How do I change the lamp or check the connections to the lamp that lights up the Odometer at night?   Thanks Frank

Answer
Frank,

The bulbs are in the back and to get to them you have to remove the cluster.  DIsconnect the battery first.  Then, remove the lower panel under the steering wheel.  Then, remove the two bolts that hold the steering wheel up.  Now, remove the two screws that hold the upper portion of the cluster cover and pull out on the cover.  Unplug the connectors at the lower portion of the cover and set it aside.  Now, remove the screws that hold the cluster in, there are four, and pull out on the cluster and disconnect the wiring harness.  The bulbs you are looking for are at the back and you can match them up at radio shack and reinstall the cluster.
