Dash lights not working
I recently bought a 95' maxima with the 3.0 and 5spd and I love it except for one prob. When I got it the radio was not working, so I put a new one in. Still nothing. I figured out that it was a problem with the little "BOSE" boxes next to each speaker. Power went in, but not out. So I did the easy thing and by-passed the box, this was time consuming to say the least. Ever since then I have had no dash lights, every thing else works. I've checked all the fuses and the. I was just wondering if anyone has had a problem simular to this. I've been using my cell-phone light to illuminate my dash. I'm real close to just hard wiring some LED's in there. Does anyone know wich wire is for the lights in the guage cluster connection, and where the ground for the lights are. Thanks much in advance to any replies.

RE: Dash lights not working
A fuse can look good, but is broken, so measure/swap all. Also the fuse panel wiring may have disconnection and/or oxidation.
Swap accessory relays, pwr is directed via their contacts. Nissan uses color coded relays: any blue can be swapped with blue 'neighbor'.
Then follow the schema and check the wire/pwr from relay up to instr cluster. Maybe the brightness adj sw or the timer ctrl unit is dead, see starting from page FSM EL-72.
You may add new gnd wires to ensure proper grounding.
