G37 Instrument Cluster Removal and Modification

If you found this helpful, you can say 'Thank You Dan' by buying me a cup of coffee. Thanks SO MUCH!

This video shows the steps to completely remove the instrument cluster module from an Infiniti G37. In this case my backlight LEDs were flaking out so I needed to remove the module to get to them. Ultimately I removed all 36 backlight LEDs and replaced them with brighter versions.

I got the LEDs from Digikey. They are part #160-1766-1-ND, but are now obsolete. I will say that these are TOO bright as they now make the center display look dim... I would now suggest trying part #160-2044-1-ND as these are similar package, but lower brightness. At least one person said they used these and they liked the result. These only have a single terminal on each end (vs. two) but you can simply solder the single contact on the LED to the two contacts on the PCB with no problem.
If those are unavailable, I found a slightly less bright (1100 vs. 1400lm) version on ebay here: ebay.us/o4p23L

😳 whoa...I think I’ll just live with my half lit tachometer. Appreciate this video; it’s great you took your time with each step, especially with disconnecting the wiring harness. Most come out effortlessly as long as you depress the right tabs and not force it. Intense...just have to make sure you do each step with love!

[@josereal4200]

Im in complete shock because he actually explains everything, compared to other videos

[@DansWay]

The whole point of my videos is to educate rather than brag about what I can do. I believe everyone can do just about anything with the right example and tools... Thanks for watching! Did you try this yet?

[@mahmoodhabib7143]

I just fixed the motor that move the whole dash console of my g37 vert 2011 using your instructions .. thank you for the clear instructions 👌🏽👌🏽

[@TatteredSailsPics]

Excellent video! Great explanation of an R&R tear-down for the gauge cluster. Easy to understand and follow. And on the production side, fantastic camera placement at good angles for optimal visual demonstration. Quality audio as well. Well edited (which we really know takes the most time for a project). Ten years we've been on KZbin now, and this is the first video we've ever commented on. It impressed us THAT much. Kudos!

[@DansWay]

I'm honored to get your first comment! I really appreciate that you understand that the camera work makes these projects take WAY longer than otherwise just doing the work. And editing time... That is a whole other story, especially with multiple camera angles. Thanks for noticing and commenting.

[@robertbuerck3849]

I have been looking for someone that has finally walked everyone from beginning to end! Thank you for doing this as it gives the rest of us the confidence to do it ourselves and save the $2000.00 the dealer wanted to complete this same work. Thank you!

Haha, your welcome!

[@sircakacrisent3513]

You do not have to take the steering wheel off you can simply turn it to the left to remove the right screw and to the right to remove the left screw.That will save time and you do not have to remove the steering wheel or airbag.Otherwise this is by far the best video I e seen on how to do this.

[@ihy6luto]

so glad i saw this before starting

[@popC0rNsk8]

@@ihy6lutoso you did not have to remove the wheel? Nor airbag?

[@ihy6luto]

@@popC0rNsk8 didn’t do it yet, a dashboard is $1500 and a cluster is $200-500 lmfao ion got that kind of money. Not to mention the transmission tunnel. If i take any one thing apart, im taking all of it apart. no use it doing it separately, do it all at once. I just want my interior from stone to black.

[@tonykarter8830]

I did this on my 2008 Infiniti G35. These video were very helpful for doing it on my own car. I found that there were two bolts in your video that were not in my car. Also, my father and I found that you didn't have to take the wheel off and we could just roll the cluster out, although it was a tight fit. We used the bulbs recommended in the second video and there are a little brighter then the original, but were not distracting. I also put these in my clock because they were dead in there too. I did this around memorial day and it took two days but we were working on and off. Tl Dr, these videos are a pretty good example on how to do this and makes your dash look so much better. Thank you Dan.

[@tonykarter8830]

Also, if your clicker/ buzzer for the turn signal and hazards doesn't work, nows the time to fix it, it's in the back of the cluster. Mine worked intermittently because there was corrosion on it. A little clean and that make it work all the time.

@@DansWay just about done with the g35x. Thanks again for the detailed vids. My fuel gauge is not working at the cluster after reinstalling. The level transmitter in the fuel tank is good because it shows an accurate reading on my navigation (250km til empty). will be taking it apart after work- thinking(hoping) I just missed plugging in a sensor under the dash?

[@DansWay]

@@CallMeStermii Wow, bummer about that. The fact that the computer knows the 'till empty' value means the sensor is working, but yah, perhaps the needle control signal isn't connected somehow, or the soldering disturbed something about that circuit. Sorry it didn't work our on the first shot. You can plug in the cluster at the car before reassembling to confirm everything is working right. Let us know how it turns out!

[@toplegitmix]

Hey dan do you think with this method i can access the steering lock module from up top? Thanks!

[@bokkey45]

I have all these same issues with my 2008 g35 sedan. The lights in the instrument cluster flicker on and off, specifically in the tachometer display just like this one. It's only small sections, like between 3,000 and 5,000 rpm. The analog clock in the head unit does the same thing. I also have that peeling issue on the steering wheel and on the trim pieces in the door panel..run your finger nail over it and the stuff peels off like candle wax. I definitely want to restore some of these things and get it looking like new again.

[@DansWay]

Hey, I had no problem totally scraping all the paint off the steering wheel trim piece. I then primed and painted it with 'hammered' look paint which recreated the textured look. It looks fantastic to me. I think I over-sprayed the hammered paint with flat black as a top coat to match.

[@twinturbobmw535xi7]

It kinda looks like Plasti dip paint on the door trim where the switches are. I actually thought the previous owner painted them. I took a rag and scrubbed it all off becuse it looked like shit. At some point I’m gonna paint them. Not sure what color yet. I did see they have that carbon fiber stickers/wrap kit for the wooden trim panels online. The kit comes with all of them and is already cut to for them perfectly.

[@donjohnson4368]

Dan, great video- I want to stop my AFS light flashing cos I changed the headlights to non standard. Is there a fuse I can remove? Any ideas ? I don’t really want to remove instrument cluster to take out the bulbs

[@DansWay]

Interesting. I'm not sure if the light is due to the change in bulb, or the more advanced tracking motors in the assembly not being present anymore. If you just swapped out the bulbs, it is possible the lower power draw is triggering the alert. Dismantling the display to remove the LED is a lot of work for sure. You could also put black vinyl tape over the AFS light itself, but that still would require removing the clear cover. Wish I had a better answer for you!

[@nicfosland]

After putting everything back together, my VDCoff and slip light are now on all the time. Any suggestions how this could have been triggered by this?

Hi I have a 2012 G37xS Coupe with little condensation spots on the inside of the guage cluster lens. That big plastic cover has spots on the inside somehow. Is there a way to remove this lens without removing the entire dash in order to clean the inside? Thx

[@DansWay]

I think you still will need to remove the cluster entirely to get at all the screws on the back-side. Take a look at all of the videos in this series to see what it takes.

[@gregs7753]

Best video out of the couple I used to replace dash. Push to start won’t work now w/o putting key in slot. Plugged all 3 connections to cluster but saw an extra brown plug next to push button. Any insight?

[@DansWay]

Greg S what year is your car? Does the button do anything? If it does, but won’t try starting the car, there is an antenna in there somewhere around the keyhole you might have unplugged or need to re-connect.

[@fordman981]

hello, quick question I'm going to replace my cluster and notice the ones on eBay are cheaper. if I replace mines with an eBay on would my miles stay the same or would the miles that the cluster have appear ?

[@DansWay]

You would need to have the new module re-programmed with your current mileage. I found at least one seller who promises to perform this for you.

[@icaughtu1234]

Hi! Thanks for the great video! I would like to ask since you removed all of the clusters and panel are you able to tell me where the flasher/blinker relay is located or is it imbedded in the cluster?

[@DansWay]

icaughtu1234 I’m not sure. It could be in the fuse box in the engine bay. Anyone else know?

[@icaughtu1234]

The clicking from the relay are under the cluster when using the turn signal. I'm trying to replace it due to adding led bulbs all around and I didn't want to use ohm resister

[@DansWay]

From my memory, the click you hear is a buzzer, not the relay itself. The rapid flash is the way the system indicates that it thinks the bulb is dead because it isn’t seeing enough current being drawn. The resistor is the easy way to fool the system into thinking the bulb is still connected properly.

[@Stickykobe420]

Hey dan thank you for the video. You ever had any trouble with the air bag lights on the panel? After I installed everything the air bag light came out, I tried resetting it as well as doubled check the work but still nothing.

[@DansWay]

Dario I would double check the airbag connector terminals carefully to see if they are bent inside. Otherwise follow the reset procedure I showed (which took me a couple tries honestly) and it should reset. Worst case take it to a parts store that offers free scans and they can tell you what the airbag system thinks is wrong.

[@Stickykobe420]

Dan Holt thank you brother. I took it to my mechanic and he said he can reset it with the master computer. He thinks everything it’s fine since we took everything apart and put everything back in again. Thank you for the reply!

Hello Dan, my center light was out on my 2007 g35s dash cluster. So I'm in the middle of reinstalling one I got from LKQ. When put everything back together I couldn't get any power. The only thing that works are the power seats and the steering wheel adjustment. Do you have any idea what is going on? I checked all the fuses, including the fusible link to battery. Please let me know what you believe could be the issue that would cause no power? NO POWER ANY WHERE

[@DansWay]

Corey Pettis wow, so sorry to hear that bro. I would check that main connector on the cluster to be sure there are no bent pins. I don’t remember not having power with the cluster removed myself. I feel like the motors on the steering wheel still worked. I don’t remember trying to power the car without the cluster to know if that is even possible.

[@Robdoggie]

would this help with a problem with the fuel needle not working properly ?

[@DansWay]

I honestly have no idea. Problem could be the needle motor, the cluster which controls it, the wiring from the gas tank to the console/computer, or the sensor in the tank itself...

@Dan Holt how do you change the mileage?

[@DansWay]

[@alihejjo1158]

Hey Dan, I know this was filmed 4 years ago but you have the 2009 G37 with the old orange screen in the middle of the cluster. I have the same car. I was wondering if I could take the cluster from a 2010+ G37 & have it be plug & play with mine? I really like the newer blue backlit screens better. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

[@DansWay]

I've heard of guys doing exactly this. The key difference would be the mileage of the car which is located on a memory chip on the cluster. You could consider changing out just the display module that has the LEDs built into it... Not sure if that works as simply as it sounds.

Hello Dan ! I've got everything apart and the 2044 p/n here and ready to replace. I thought there were qty 36 but it looks like there are more if you include all of the white (similar body color) leds in the center. I assume most in the center are for trouble/service lights only and therefore should not burn out due to little use? I just counted again and see there is a total of qty 68 white ones. I also realize there are different options on each car. I count 12 on tack, 12 on speedometer. 5 on temp, 5 on fuel, 10 inside tack, 14 inside speedometer and then 10 on top between tack and speedometer? I guess I will match the led pattern with my overlay and replace all except the warning lights. I'll also replace the ones that are to light each needle ? Am thoughts or recommendations ?

[@ryerob4815]

Don't live with a half lit cluster like some say. I did that and eventually the whole cluster light went on and off. Now it's dead some days and some days it's working. By dead I mean the cluster won't be on when you're driving just like the car is off.

I called my local infinity dealer and they said I’d have to replace my cluster and they’d do it but I DO NOT have the kind of money that they want me to pay as of right now. I got college and other stuff to pay for. I asked them if I could buy one off of eBay or something and they told me that they would have to order it because if I order one the miles would not match the miles in my car. If I order a new cluster I can replace it myself. I just need to know if you know what’s wrong or if the miles will carry over. Thank you.

[@DansWay]

Giovanni Stewart I _think_ the mileage info is located in a chip that is soldered to the main-board and that the display is a dumb removable module. I can’t confirm this however. I would contact one of the on-line guys who resell these clusters to see if swapping out the display separate from the cluster keeps the mileage the same. Otherwise you can just order a replacement part from the on-line guys that advertise on eBay and they can duplicate the mileage. Should be less than $200 if you do the replacement yourself.

I want to change from an 07 cluster to a 2012 cluster, everything looks the same but I want to maintain the mileage, will that be an issue?

[@DansWay]

You could have a service update the mileage on the 2012 cluster to match 07 cluster. I have not moved from year to year myself to know if there are other issues with compatibility to be concerned about. You could change the bezel and needles on the 07, but the center will still be red. I have not tried to remove the center little display to see if the red comes from red-LEDs or from a red overlay film, or both... Anyone know the answer?

[@imty8774]

Dan Holt you got the wiring diagrams of both year models? Mine has it's led go out and I like how the newer model looks. I wanna know if the wiring matches so that all the effort doesn't go to vain.

[@DansWay]

Imteyaz Yousuf I don’t have the wiring diagrams but I have heard on other sites that guys have been successful changing things around between older and newer G37s. I would check the diagrams carefully first.

[@imty8774]

Dan Holt I've read the same thing on multiple forums. Guess I'll have to find it out myself. Any idea on where I could find the diagrams. I'd appreciate your help.

[@DansWay]

Imteyaz Yousuf the full service manuals are available online. I would search for ‘G37 service manual’ then search for the model years you are interested in. Another approach would be to talk to the vendors on eBay that are selling the clusters that offer programming service for the mileage as part of the price. They are likely to know about switching around the model years. Let us know what you find!

hi dan , i followed your steps and everything was going good until i put everything bad together and now my key isn't working. I put it into the little key compartment and push the start/stop button and it just goes to "ON" without cranking the engine. The headlights turn on and the fan kicks on.... Any advice would be appreciated or if anyone knows what's going on please let me know. I'm starting to thinking my car's anti theft system is on and it's not turning on??

[@DansWay]

Maks K , sorry to hear you are having problems. I would first look at the electrical connections at the start Hutton to be sure it is properly seated in the connector housing. There is an Myrna somewhere to detect the key FOB and perhaps that got disconnected as well. Does it say ‘no key detected’? Anyone else have this issue out there?

[@maxim123456789000]

Hey I figured it out . I replaced the whole entire dashboard and when I went to take apart the center console and put it back together I put the wrong wires in the wrong order . They will fit but they won’t do anything but I got it to work !!!! You won’t have this problem if you just take out the dash cluster .

[@alexalmanzar4768]

Maks K hey I’m having the same problem could you please tell me which wires were messed up

[@alexalmanzar4768]

I’m really annoyed because the push to start gets stuck on on and then goes to accessory and doesn’t turn off

[@mikaduve]

Greetings, I am French and I bought a g37s, problem the middle screen is on but no registration, do you have an idea of ​​what I could do? thank you in advance. Michael

[@DansWay]

When you say ‘no registration’ does that mean nothing is displayed on the screen?

[@mikaduve]

@@DansWay Thank you for the answer, nothing actually, just a little blue light, I can see a vertical line..

[@DansWay]

@@mikaduve sounds like things are not working for sure! You can either replace the whole cluster, or dig down to just the circuit board and look for connection problems or something mechanical. Otherwise replacing the board is likely what you will need to do.

[@mikaduve]

@@DansWay Thank you very much for your impressions, I will meditate on that...🙏

[@mikaduve]

Sir, do you know if I change the odometer if the mileage will be the same? where in other words, will there be the mileage of the new counter installed?

[@newnamecomming9357]

I ate 1 and a half raw potatoes while watching this movie. its a weird movie but was ok. I loved the lobster tooth part the best!!!!!!!!!! thank you kethcup bro!

[@spawnandbatman6975]

So I have the issue with my 08 g35 as well now. A burnt out led light. My temp gage won't light up. My rpm lights are dull and everything else is bright. So I'm wondering if this is the same procedure? Because the g37 and g35 have the same dashboard ? Also. My purple lights on my radio won't light up anymore. I'm not sure if that's a fuse

[@DansWay]

I"m not exactly sure. Does your version of the G35 have the moving instrument cluster? If so, then I would assume it is a very similar process.

[@spawnandbatman6975]

@@DansWay yeah it has the same yours has. I had another question. My climate control panel wont light up anymore either. The only thing that work is the radio and the screen. Other then that the purple lights are off and the white lights on the button are off as well. Do you think this can be a climate control panel issue?

[@DansWay]

@@spawnandbatman6975 Most likely, yes. I have not dug into that part of the car before...

[@spawnandbatman6975]

@@DansWay guess I'll have to give it a shot thenn

[@hc9361]

It is not really that hard. It just need a little patient and dedication.

[@ralphasencio5827]

Didn’t have to take off trunk buttons and stuff that was there. And. No one wants the fake wood. It was the most basic interior they offered lol

[@DansWay]

Good to know, thanks!

[@ChanKe]

That looks like mine

[@DansWay]

You have LEDs that are not lighting up?

[@ChanKe]

@@DansWay instruments clusters just like in this video.

[@RzVids]

Wtf u can hack the odometer reading?

[@reimagined911]

Good job by you....Horrendous design by Infiniti

[@TheSilentStar]

Up until 20minutes in this was great... Then you said, just use a little screwdriver and push whilst moving the plastic down.... Well... My car says nope... Categorically nope, try every possible tool... Nope.... Everything else is easy. (Edit, everything else was not easy)

[@TheSilentStar]

@@DansWay just under the steering wheel hub the plastic shroud that is there as a cable guard

[@TheSilentStar]

@@DansWay I'm so close it's got me tearing my hair out

[@DansWay]

It might have looked easy for me because this was the second time I took it off. There is a tab in there that has to be pushed pretty hard at an angle to release the black plastic part. Sorry it has been a few years since I did this.

[@TheSilentStar]

@@DansWay I'm using angled needle nose pliers to get in there and using so much force I'm convinced it may snap, what kind of latch is it? Is it a latch or a metal gromit that the plastic slips over?

[@TheSilentStar]

@@DansWay at this point I've been so brutal wrenching on it I have no idea how it's even still attached....

[@daveclark3829]

Didnt have to remove steering wheel but okay

[@DansWay]

How did you get the instrument cluster over the wheel then? Look at the timeline at minute 26:00 and I don't see how that could be possible...
