How to Repair Non-Illuminating Dashboard Lights on Nissan Teana?
2 Answers
Nissan Teana dashboard lights not illuminating can be repaired by: replacing the fuse or replacing the entire dashboard assembly. Dashboard indicator lights include: ABS indicator, EPC indicator, seat belt indicator, battery indicator, oil indicator, fuel level indicator, door indicator, airbag indicator, brake disc indicator, handbrake indicator, coolant temperature indicator, engine indicator, turn signal indicator, high beam indicator, windshield washer fluid indicator, fog light indicator, and width indicator. Taking the 2021 Nissan Teana as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4901mm, width 1850mm, height 1450mm, wheelbase 2825mm, and curb weight 1456kg.
A couple of years ago when I was driving my Nissan Teana, I also encountered an issue with the instrument panel lights not working. It happened suddenly at night when I noticed all the lights went dark, which was quite alarming, so I quickly pulled over to a safe spot. I first checked the fuse box myself—opened the cover under the driver's seat and located the fuses related to the instrument panel. Found one that was burnt black, replaced it with a spare fuse, and the lights came back on. If it's a bulb issue, you'd have to remove the dashboard, which is quite a hassle—better not force it open yourself as you might break the wiring. Keep an eye on voltage stability; older cars are prone to this. It’s handy to keep some 5A and 10A fuses in the fuse box to avoid being caught off guard. If replacing the fuse doesn’t fix it, it could be a wiring short or a faulty instrument module—then it’s best to visit a professional shop with proper testing equipment. Don’t delay to prevent accidents. During regular maintenance, ask the mechanic to check the lighting system to catch issues early—safety first when driving.
