R32 Gts4 Electrical Issues

[CeJay]

After some advice, havent been able to find anything indepth while searching.

Having some electrical issues with my R32 GTS4 4 door at the moment

When I turn the key to accessories, the speedo and tacho are flatlined at 0, I see the torque gauge for the 4wd system go to the 12 oclock position , from memory the other dials appear okay. When I start the car the tacho is at 0, and doesn't move.

I pulled out all the fuses and checked them, there was one blown 10amp fuse, which I replaced which didn't fix the issue.

The fuse I replaced has blown a number of times in a matter of a day it appears to be the door power window fuse as that's what affected, so i presume something somewhere in the electrics is not right.

A couple of things:

I am running a Vipec ECU. It would normally cycle the tacho from memory to redline when you first put the car on accessories, that doesn't happen anymore

After some advice as to what to check next before I get an auto electrician to check the car.

thanks

Anyone had similar issues?

Anyone? Searched around and nothing really conclusive. I take it wouldn't be a snapped speedo cable or something in the dash? The 4wd guage appears to be reading totally wrong too

Update, Looks like I may have found the issue, both tailight inner brackets were lose, meaning the wires were at an unusual angle, need to wait to see how it goes, but the car hasn't blown a fuse yet after fixing this issue this morning.

Dead instruments is common on old Nissans. My Stagea speedo, tacho, fuel gauge and temp gauge sometimes die for no obvious reason and then come to life. Some people say you need to take out the cluster and apply heat to the soldered joints.
