New Owner with Car Problems already
Just bought my 370Z on Fri. Very happy with it, now less happy. Luckily nothing major I hope.
Went to set the clock (on the triple display) last evening and it resets to 1:00 every time car is turned off. No big deal, but it is a brand new car & it doesn't work right. Then last night took it out for the 1st time at night. Gauges light up, but the hands on the gauges do not. This is both for the dash guages & the triple displays. So if you can picture this, the speedometer lights up just fine, but the hand that tells you what speed you are going doesn't. And the only way I could see the hand was when I passed under a street light. Other than that it was guess your speed & revs ect. Any ideas? Could it be a fuse? |

Could be a fuse, but why bother figuring it out.
You have warranty so use it. It's all covered just go to sleep and worry less, have the dealer fix that **** |

If it is as simple as a fuse, I don't want the down time a dealership would mean.
Just got my nose out of the Users Manual. It's dark here now, but when it turns light, will check on something called a battery extender. The dealership was supposed to remove it, but..... |

You can check in the compartment next to your left foot. There is usually a fuse blocker or thing they are suppose to remove on delivery. If its still there you are suppose to push it completely in I believe or use a new fuse in its place.

Look here for the info and pics of the Extended Storage Switch, which I believe is the same thing as the fuse blocker in this thread.

Thanks, glad I could help!
Nissan added this storage switch almost 3 years ago in 2011 and the dealers still can't seem to remember to push it in...
