Why does my dashboard gauge not work on my Nissan Maxima 1998

I may need more info? If none of gages on instrument cluster work, check voltage and ground circuit. Not only check the fuse, check the fuse circuit for voltage, use test lite to check for voltage, the fuse on the left is hot all the time. The one in middle goes hot with key on. The fuse on the right appears to be for cluster lamps. The ground wire for instrument cluster is black. I can't rule out problem with instrument cluster, itself? 26395234-l0niljk1xn3va3ubzuxqsa0h-1-0.jpg

Is there a fuse for the cruise control?

Most cruise controls are vacuum actuated. check for vacuum leaks. This also occurs at the brake petal where cruise is disengaged, check for proper adjustment on the cruise switch.

1998 Nissan Maxima thermostat housing leaking why

Over time, vibration and the constant heating/cooling cycles of an engine break down the best of gaskets. Most newer thermostats use a rubber gasket and these will shrink and crack over time, allowing leaks.

My sound stopped working except the sub and amp.

If you have a little electronic know how... it can be a blown capacitor in the speaker. If you find it, solder a new one in and turn the volume down in the future. And look around for any signs of burnt insulation. Trunk amps are notorious for being insufficiently wired for power.

SE. Why aren't plugs 2 and 5 firing?

Hiya Pete, I am thinking bad number two coil pack or ignition control module if you have checked and cleaned/replaced your plugs. Also a good idea to check or replace plug wires if they are worn or have been installed longer than your last 2-3 tune ups. Just went through this myself hope this helps:-)

1998 nissan maxima do not start unless i bush on gas when cold. i ask this before and got a answer, air regulator, but nobody know what that is.

Clean the throttle body inside and the idle air control motor(air regulator). Your best bet is to remove the throttle body and then remove the idle air control motor off of it. If you have the barrel type motor, you need to open it and clean in it as best you can. Use a toothpick or paper clip and brake clean. Use a tooth brush on the throttle body. Check your air filter while your at it.
