What to do if the dashboard lights of Nissan Tiida are broken?

Solutions for broken dashboard lights of Nissan Tiida: First, check whether the fuse is blown. If it is blown, replacing the fuse can solve the problem. If some LED beads are damaged, replacing the corresponding damaged beads will suffice. Dashboard lights are functional lamps used to indicate vehicle performance, which are divided into three categories: general indicator lights, warning indicator lights, and malfunction indicator lights. The Nissan Tiida is a compact car launched by Dongfeng Nissan, with a length, width, and height of 4393mm, 1766mm, and 1539mm respectively, a wheelbase of 2700mm, equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, a maximum power of 90kw, and matched with a CVT continuously variable transmission or a 5-speed manual transmission.

I usually enjoy tinkering with cars, and instrument panel lights going out is actually quite common. If the instrument lights aren't working, it could be a blown fuse or a burnt-out bulb - just like what happened with my old car before. First check the fuse box under the steering wheel to see if the fuse related to instrument lights is intact. If you're not sure about the location, check the owner's manual or search online for a diagram of your Nissan Tiida model. If the fuse is fine, it might be an aging bulb - the instrument light bulbs in a Tiida are usually behind the instrument cluster. Be careful when replacing it yourself to avoid short circuits, just buy a bulb of the same model and try it. If you really can't manage, don't force it - take it to a 4S shop or repair shop and let the mechanics check the wiring with a multimeter. If the control module has issues, it could affect speed monitoring. For safety's sake, don't wait until you have trouble driving at night - get it fixed promptly.

With over 20 years of car repair experience, I've found that instrument cluster light failures are often not minor issues. These lights aren't just for appearance - they're critical safety signals while driving. When they malfunction, it usually indicates problems with internal wiring or relays. Don't start by randomly disassembling components. The Tiida's dashboard is relatively complex, and attempting bulb replacement yourself might damage circuit boards or cause poor contacts. The first step should always be checking fuses, typically located in the main fuse box on the driver's side - replace any blown fuses with new ones. Next, inspect power supply lines for aging or short circuits, especially common in older models. If lights still don't work after these checks, it likely indicates relay or ECU (Engine Control Unit) failure, which requires professional diagnostic equipment. I recommend visiting a Nissan specialist workshop where technicians can perform professional inspections to avoid misrepairs that might increase risks. As a temporary measure while driving, you can use smartphone flashlight for auxiliary lighting.

My Tiida's dashboard lights were just fixed last week, and it turned out to be such a simple solution. Dashboard lights not working are mostly due to bulb or fuse issues, with broken bulb filaments being the most common. Replacing it with a new one costs just over ten yuan—refer to the manual for the model or buy a Tiida-specific one online. The fuse is located in the box under the steering wheel; pull it out and check if the color has turned black, then try replacing it. If the lights come on, no further hassle is needed. If they remain dim, it indicates poor contact in the wiring, possibly from a loose plug due to bumps—just push it tight. Don’t panic; take it to a repair shop and get it fixed in half an hour to avoid not seeing the fuel gauge warning during night driving.
