Power Supply and Ground Circuit Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CHECK FUSE

Check for blown combination meter and unified meter and A/C amp. fuses.

COMBINATION METER AND UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP. FUSES

Unit	Power source	Fuse No.
Combination meter	Battery	19
Unified meter and A/C amp.	Battery	19
Combination meter	Ignition switch ON or START	14
Unified meter and A/C amp.	Ignition switch ON or START	12
Unified meter and A/C amp.	Ignition switch ON	10, 11
Combination meter	Ignition switch ACC or ON	6
Unified meter and A/C amp.	Ignition switch ACC or ON	6

Refer to "WIRING DIAGRAM - METER - ".

OK or NG

OK: GO TO 2.

NG: If fuse is blown, be sure to eliminate cause of malfunction before installing new fuse. Refer to "POWER SUPPLY ROUTING CIRCUIT ".

CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT

Disconnect combination meter connector M24 and unified meter and A/C amp. connectors M50 and M89.

Check voltage between combination meter harness connector terminals and ground.
