Dead odometer

[Dooley]

I have a 1995 Q45 with about 57K. The odometer stopped working, along with the trip reset. The speedometer and tachometer still work. Any suggestions on a fix?

where did you find a 95 Q with that low miles??!?! anyways, have you looked in the fsm?

Elderly owned out of Florida. Shipped back to New Hampshire. Will be a fair weather car only.

Chances are pretty good that both bulbs that illuminate the trip odometer are burned out. A common problem. You'll need to remove the speedo cluster to get to the bulbs. They're at least $12/each at the stealership or you can get a couple of bulbs for $3 at a Radio Shack and relamp the sockets yourself. You can search my past posts for details on relamping (it's easy).

Thanks for your help, but I should have stated that it's an analog odometer.

My mistake. The trip reset works. All the lights work, including those that illuminate the analog odometer. The only problem ON THE WHOLE DASH is that THE ANALOG NUMBERS DON'T TURN.

Bummer. I would find a replacement cluster, maybe on eBay, and see if replacing the motor that turns the odometer fixes it. This is a fairly uncommon issue, so I'd suspect that you're safe buying a used one. You'd have to disassemble the clusters to make the swap. Nissan's only solution for these things has been to replace the entire cluster.

Thanks Q451990.
