My temp gauge and fuel gauge stopped working as well as my light that lets me know when cruise control is set. checked all fuses and they are all good also my indicator lights for oil, acc, battery, and etc... are not working when starting up. could it be my cluster board and where is this located???
Pulling the plugs out of the cluster and reinserting the usually fixes this problem. Gauges in the cluster runs from different things, so it is a connection problem. But first pull the gauge fuse and reinsert it. Corrosion happens here also.
Try to loosen both battery terminals and the reconnect after 5 mins for resetting the cluster..Nissan love to do it,if the problem persist perfom cluster self diagnostic manually if you can't hook up a diagnostic machine and try it on active test.If everything works then check cluster control relay in the IPDM/ER
The cluster IS the dash/guage assembly. Try slapping on the top of the dash just above the cluster assembly to see if anything starts working again. If not, you may have an internal cluster problem and may need to be replaced
What year an make an model vehicle ?

It's probably the step motors that control the gauges !These gauges are controlled by sensors that input info to the engine computer an then sent out on the class 2 serial data bus ! It can't be the sensors or you would have check engine light on an the engine probably would not run very good !
The IPC displays the engine coolant temperature as determined by the PCM. The body control module (BCM) receives a class 2 message from the PCM indicating the engine coolant temperature. The BCM converts the engine coolant temperature into a percent gage deflection. The IPC receives a message from the BCM via the serial peripheral interface (SPI) indicating the requested gage position. The engine coolant temperature gage defaults to 38°C (100°F) or below if:
The PCM detects a malfunction in the engine coolant temperature sensor circuit.The BCM detects a loss of class 2 communications with the PCM. The IPC detects a loss of SPI communications with the BCM.
