gauge cluster problem

[ProudNissanFreak]

alright, so my gauge cluster won't light up when the temperature drops below 60*

im in orlando and its been 35* - 50* last week and my cluster never lit up. today i took the b14 for a drive and the cluster lit up and its about 74* this problem has happened before, but i cant seem to figure out why it wont work when its cold. ive searched, but didnt find anyone with temperature effecting the lighting of the gc. any ideas? thanks!

i doubt this will be helpfull but if its only in cold temp's that it does this

think of tire pressure, cold condenses heat expands, check the harness in the back of the cluster [esp if you have ever messed with it or taken it out] make sure its clipped in all the way, you may take the extra step to see that the wires are fully seated in the harness also

then not for sure if you would have a fuse for your cluster but i would swap it with another fuse and see if the problem transfers over

i cant see any reason a LED bulb would fail in this fasion but a filiment bulb may be loose but seeing as there are usually 10+ lights in any given cluster i dont think that would be an issue either

might also have your battery tested and if still nothing attack the alternator

you may not be getting enough cold amps out of your battery and your CCA might come up a bit low if this is an issue
