yeah not always the sender and being a nissan its prob the dash. nissan suck at making dashes that work.
had the same thing on my gq, hit the dash and it worked for awhile. when that stopped working i swapped out the dash all good. ( mind you i tested the signal from the sender behind the dash first)
since then i have found out that 1-2 components on the circuit board fail. if i could ever be bothered i should fix my old one.
if its worth doin its worth over doin
