Hardbody Tachometer fix and Speedometer check

[@luislopezjr2862]

I'm doing the swap as well but can't find nothing on the wiring diagram to get the cluster working can you help

[@elmetriusgreen8050]

I need help with that also

[@elmetriusgreen8050]

How can I get newer round cluster to work if I have swap dash from old square type

[@popclutch_100]

If my cluster was taken out for an issue. Is there a way in the computer system I can tell the actual miles on the truck? I think it was drive like that for a while. Thank you.

[@keithcurley2658]

What connector was the problem?

[@tekknow8482]

Mine had the speedometer problem. Ended up being a bad capacitor on the speedometer circuit board.

Thanks for your helpful video. I have a 1994 Nissan d21 king cab hardbody with the 3.0 v-6 4 wheel drive. I recently noticed that my trip meter and odometer quit spinning so my mileage is stuck which can really turn someone off from purchasing a vehicle knowing that the mileage isn't correct. My speedometer and tac work fine, it's just the odometer. I took out everything today and the gears that turn are perfect and no play or anything broke or stripped. When I first start my truck up and drive it, the odometer turns and after a few minutes, mainly when driving uphill, the check engine light comes on and that's when the odometer quits turning. After about 2 -3 miles the check engine light goes out and the odometer starts to turn. I'm wondering if it's an electrical issue or the speed sensor that's mounted to the transmission.

[@shopshenanigans7764]

Typically the check engine light is only related to emissions issues, so It's odd to me that the two would be related. I'd check the transmission connection first since it's easier to get to. Not the speedometer and odometer are hard to get to by any means, but it's a little easier to crawl underneath real quick and check a connection. Lemme know how it goes!

What poweres the trip o meters my 97 has one digital on each side of bezel I’ve changed all fuses and rest of bezels 100%

[@peterbedford2610]

I have a 1998 frontier with a bad speedo . i wonder if i can adapt a pathfinder speedo?

[@johnholland3476]

You ever seen a nissan cluster with 2 digitial boxes like the clock one on yours and on each side of cluster mines a 97 d21

[@eddysandoval2068]

I been having issues with mine so what I did I changed it and it is 5 miles behind so if I'm going 65 in the gage it reads 60 and unfortunately on the one I have it doesn't have the screw to adjust the speed and so far I bought 3 different clusters and they all read the same and none of them have the screw I do understand the gear ratio changes but they were the same trucks and same motor and all were with manual transmission like mine so any tips are highly appreciated thank u for ur time

[@ivanncastro]

Did you ever fix this issue? I’ve been thinking about doing a dash swap on a 93 hardbody but also want to use the newer cluster!

[@shopshenanigans7764]

Yea, it was just a cheap electrical connector for the speedo. Pretty quick fix. The wiring for the new gauge cluster takes a second to figure out, but wasn't too bad.

[@CBiskitone]

me too

[@NoFear2473651]

I have done the same swap and could never figure out the VSS. Did you splice the cluster into the original harness? How does the ECU throw a code if it was cable driven speedo? Thanks!

[@pdswatzell]

How hard is the dash swap I have a 1990 square dash didn't know if it was more work than it is

[@Matadecana10]

So where's the bad conector?

[@taconight2night]

Do you know if the temp gauge has the same kind of pot behind the gauge face as the tach and if it can be adjusted? I'm having an issue where my temp needle only sits at about 1/5 when fully warmed. I've done a bunch of tests on the temp sending unit and stat, but still cant figure out why my needle is so low... The gauge itself is kind of my last area I havent explored. Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[@teleskopossomnium]

same problem. i’ll let you know if i figure it out.

[@todd77777772000]

my 1991 pathfinder speedometer says i am doing 50 mph when i am barely moving.

[@concepciondeorienteeljorna67]

Need a little help if enyone can help me please i have a nissan hardbody d21 1993 and the temperature gauge not working i replace the cooling temperature sensor is only 1 cable but the needle dont go up truck runs good and i like to fix tha little issue meybe someone can help me please thank you good bless you all

[@teleskopossomnium]

same issue here.. i’ll let you know if i figure it out

[@tylermaschke1208]

Had this issue on my 97, the fix no lie was to slap the dash right above the temp gauge. A good slap and the needle would work until the truck got cold again.

[@concepciondeorienteeljorna67]

@@tylermaschke1208 i did that work but same problen

[@williamj.crockettiv9707]

"Had a multimeter in the truck already" tell me you own a hardbody without telling me you own a hardbody

[@efraingomez7943]

Very nice. So the newer dash fits the older ones?

[@shopshenanigans7764]

Yup, up until I think 97? i swapped a 95 in. Gotta do some wiring and switch to the electrical speed sensor, so make sure you grab that too if you grab a dash to swap.

[@jaredmunoz8746]

Shop Shenanigans which wires do I grab and where is the speed sensor located ?

[@jaredmunoz8746]

Shop Shenanigans can you pls do a vid on the wiring .. I’m stuck ! I need help

[@tonyrodriguez4716]

That’s a very cool swap! Thanks for making a video on this. Can this swap be done in a 1987, 4cyc automatic? If so can you point me in the right direction for everything needed to be done and parts list?

[@erwin643]

Jesus, do you actually know anything that you're testing for, when you use your multi-meter? How about taking a spare speedo sensor (or the one off your transmission), pull the speedometer out of the instrument panel and hookup 12 VDC, GND and the sensor to the speedometer? There's a guy on KZbin who did that with the speedometer out of his 1990 Dodge Cummins. I had way less test equipment than him, and used a drill to turn the speedo sensor. Virtually every electro-mechanical speedometer system works the same way.

Dude, quit babbling, get to the point, this should have been 5min.
