I have a 1998 Frontier 2.4L 5mt 4x4 SE .
When I drove it home all the gauges were pinned at full and the odom read 9999999.
I drove it home and unplugged the battery for 15 min.
Plugged it back in and the gauges were normal and so was the odom.
So I thought nothing of it.
I woke up this morning to warm the truck up for work and there pinned again.
I drove it to work 10 miles and shut it off.
Went out to check it again .
Put the key in and started it and the gauges are normal now.
What gives????
It now does this everyday.

Water temp reads full hot
Gas gauge reads full and odometer reads 9999999.
Coincidentally the AIR Bag light is flashing aswell.
tried the key on off 3 time deal and that didnt clear the air bag light.

LOL - just venturing out to find a answer to "why" its doing what its doing.

Im a tech geek and when I discover a problem with something mechanical or electrical I cant stop thinking about "why" until I know "why".

well since you dont seem to want to take it back to the place you bought it from go to your local parts house the should be able to hook a code reader to it and get some information for you.

Interesting.

So far I have gotten more moral opinion than technical advice.

Bummer.

At this point I have spoken with the dealer and they will address the problem.

I personally have gone over the vehicle from tip to stern and found no mechanical issues other than a notchy gear box.

This is the only electrical issue and a minor one at that.

Now if one new how much I had purchased this fine machine for then taking it back wouldnt be up for discussion, LOL.

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

At the moment Im leaning on a bad instrument cluster.

I guess Ill just have to remove it and check all the harness's going into it for solid connections.

..

tuner-automotiv;

... Welcome to the group. I haven't had the time to check out hintonl's link. He has done a lot of neat things.

... I had a similar problem with a '66 Rambler.. It was a crack in the panel circuit board that made a resister intermittent. New resister fixed it but all the gauges read slightly different.

Have a good one while you can still laugh about it.. Don S..

Lakota - thank you.

I appreciate the insight.

All the google'n I have been doing on the subject of "999999" have revealed just that.

A cracked or malfunctioning panel.
