Can you do this procedure on a 5th Gen Nissan Maxima please?

boredmder says:

That could be a faulty RPM input from the ECM, or it could just be a bad
cluster (more likely a bad motor in the tach ‘module’ itself), but most
tend to replace the entire cluster instead of the discrete parts inside.

is this the reason why the right meter(x1000r/min) will go to 8 even though
im not pressing the gas?? they told me it could be the cluster

boredmder says:

They can be, indeed. I’ve never had an issue with pulling it out this way,
but there is a good amount of flexing of the cluster bezel needed in order
to clear the steering column trim. If it’s very cold, I could see it
snapping with little effort.

Rottweiler1080p says:

If it is cold out, remove the trim around your steering wheel or you will
break your bezel. I guess it gets brittle when it’s cold out. 🙁

boredmder says:

Quite. 02/95 build date, to be precise. The 5th gens look entirely
different in the dash, steering wheel, cluster, etc. Not sure what made you
believe it’s an A33, but the clusters do come out in just about the same
manner.

German Outlaw says:

you sure this is 4th gen instead of 5th?

Disphonic x says:

omg. I can see what pmohr looks like. hehe.

boredmder says:

Standard 194 bulbs for 95-97, #74 bulbs for 98-99

boredmder says:

I’d be looking at replacing the speedo itself, it can be replaced as a unit
within the cluster. There’s not much component replacing you can do within
the speedo ‘module’.

Chinunit22 says:

What kind light bulbs does this speedometer takes?

guitarizo says:

The speedo on mine frequently stops working an sits at zero while I’m
driving. I did some research and a few people said it could be the speed
censor on my transmission. However, I would think if that were the case,
then my odometer would stop working at the same time and it still works
fine when my speedo isn’t working at all. Any thoughts?
