i just bought my first z and im already having problems with it. the trip meter always resets itself as soon as you turn the car off and clicker and green arrows on the gauge cluster doesnt work even though the turn signals outside of the car clearly works. everything worked fine when i first got it last month but one thing after another keeps failing as soon as i repair it.

has anyone had this issue before? can you tell me how to fix it?

Never had this problem- have you checked the instrument pod itself and made sure all the connections are tight and complete? Also, is this the original gauge pod or was this a salvage vehicle?

everything on the car is original except the brakes and the spoiler. the car has a clean title and has never been in an accident as there is not even a single door ding.
i havent checked the pods yet because i'm still trying to find directions on how to take that apart withiut breaking anything lol

Assuming you already checked your fusebox?

The radio doesnt lose any of its settings?

Battery is getting low, mine has done that a few times over the years. Could be a cruddy connection at the battery terminal , I would clean them first.

bjzx636

yup, checked the fuses.

radio settings are all still the same.

i'll check the terminals and have the battery testedd this weekend

circuit board on gauge cluster is toast. if its not remembering mileage it cant access the ram on the board. doubt its the battery if radio is holding the presets and turns over when you start it. id start looking for a new cluster on ebay. unless you have experience with repairing circuit boards
