If you are experiencing issues with the instrument cluster on your 1995-2004 Nissan Pathfinder where the gauges stop working and only the fuel gauge is showing an inaccurate reading, it is possible that there is a problem with the instrument cluster itself or with the wiring/connectors that lead to the cluster.
Here are some possible causes for this issue:
# Faulty instrument cluster: Over time, the internal components of the instrument cluster can wear out or become damaged, leading to malfunctions like the ones you are experiencing.
# Loose or corroded wiring/connectors: If the wiring or connectors that lead to the instrument cluster are loose, damaged, or corroded, it can cause intermittent issues with the gauges.
# Failed speed sensor: The speed sensor is responsible for providing input to the instrument cluster, so if it fails, it can cause the gauges to stop working.
# Blown fuse: A blown fuse can cause issues with the instrument cluster, as it may prevent power from reaching the cluster.
To properly diagnose and repair the issue, it is recommended that you take your Nissan Pathfinder to a qualified mechanic or Nissan dealer. They will be able to perform a thorough inspection of the instrument cluster and related components to determine the root cause of the issue, and recommend the appropriate repair or replacement solution.
