Anyone run into a problem with the interior lights. It seems to be more than just the bulb (06 X-terra, 42,000 miles) since the display where the odometer works when the headlights are off, but turns off when you turn the lights on. I checked the fuses and don't see anything blown. It's getting old driving around in a dark car at night. Also, the fuel guage is whacked as it hardly works and usually just reads all the way on Empty with the gas light. I attribute this to my fiance's propensity to drive with no gas so often. I know it's bad for the filter as well.... I know, but telling her...... never mind. Any help to DIY is greatly appreciated.

 

The fuel sending units going bad are a common problem with the X......... your electrical problem sounds like a short.

 

Yeah, after reading the bulletins, it's obvious the fuel sending units stink. Anyone know what it'll cost for a new one. Is it easy to do myself. Sorry for the newbie question, but I don't see any in the search.

 

my xterra gague is bad too,
ran out of gas on the highway the other day at 10 oclock at night if you get ur fixed let me know the cost

 

If you are interested in purchasing the new fuel sending unit... $65 shipped to most.
