been discussed a million gazillion times... lets start w/ this:

ok, u posted 3 different threads that may be all related together... headlight, hud, & this

but you can start by checking this article in terms of no dash lights

is there an aftermarket stereo installed in this vehcile or the original? make sure there's a separate ground wire from the head unit to body chassis & the illumination wires aren't connected to aftermarket unit...

try this for the HUD; i dunno what happened to the pic links in that thread, though

mod: what happen to the pics in this article?

headlight not popping up? did previous owner did that free sleepy eye modification & probably cut the brown wire behind the pop-up switch? you can just yank it off & check. other than that, there was an extensive diagnosing w/ the nissan online tech a couple of months ago... gotta search for it in the archives , i think
