Love your video production. Sound, video and procedural steps good. No annoying music or trap beats. Mic is almost ASMR quality. I’m sending cluster out for repair. “A man’s got to know his limits”. I’m good with clutch, timing belts replacement on Hondas. The 2006 G35x is my first CANBUS car. When the cluster comes back, I’m jumping into the fuel sensor replacement to fix the gas gauge CEL code.
Thank you for this Danny!! I just learned a ton. My mechanic is going to do this for me, but I love understanding it for myself since I am a computer tech by nature. :)
I’m glad you enjoyed the video. See my playlist on the car if you’d like G35 / 350Z Infiniti/Nissan ua-cam.com/play/PLIjr-uSYDZi6cuomOpHL7rGWNEbQUmbvy.html
I love my car way more than all I've had (G35) but God damn is this massive steps to simply pull out the cluster. On a Honda you can have it out in 5 mins.
I replaced both the driver and passenger side sending units, and it ended up being the cluster. You can try cleaning the sending unit for both sides and it’s actually hard to find the pump one. I eventually found it as the top part of the pump assembly only, but in the end it was all money I didn’t have to spend. It’s hard to say
Got the same issue. Do you know if I buy a used instrument cluster from the same year as my G35, will that work removing the check engine light or does it have to be brand new
The check engine light will be for whatever is wrong, so it fixed my check engine light when I had the cluster repaired because the light was for the gas gauge malfunction, which was the cluster itself. Some cars require the cluster to match the car’s key or computer so you might need to ask about that one first.
so i got my cluster repaired and both fuel pumps changes and the gauge still doesnt read right, is there a fuse i might need to change or something? , thanks in advanced
Both sending units changed? Just verifying since you said fuel pumps and there is only one fuel pump but 2 sending units, one on each side. If none of those work, it must be some wiring problem in a harness or connection. It will be hard to find but you can do a continuity test on the fuses and the wiring (just be careful near the fuel tank with the fumes and ignition risk). Check any fuses related to the fuel sending units ua-cam.com/video/-BUzm-OeGhE/v-deo.html
Just wondering, does your gauge cluster have socketed bulbs for the backlights or are they Soldered LEDs? My check engine light stopped working and I removed my cluster to find out that they’re not socketed bulbs. I called infiniti to see if they have a part number for those leds. Rep. said it’ll be 1300 to replace the whole unit. They don’t have those LED replaces. So I said fuck that. I’m going to try to find LEDs to solder them.
Plz tell me how you fixed it. I’m dealing with same problem seems like my bulb went out. I haven’t took it apart because I can’t find the bulb it needs.

Awesome to see you own a G too. Those cars never die if you take care of them. My daily driver is a 2013 G37 and I love it
My 05 has 241,000 miles

Danny, any chance you can make a follow up video for the installation? Essentially, the video in reverse
I no longer have the vehicle, so sorry I can’t help better. If you watch it and write the steps down it may help to follow them in reverse
@@dannyjohnsonsgaragemoved on to greener pastures, huh? Appreciate your videos
Can a 2006 cluster fit a 2003 g35 ??

My mustang is much easier too
@@user-2Hteyasizyc I had no luck with the magnet trick. But, I'll give it a go once more before I do all this lol
Where did you send the cluster gauge to get fixed?
Tanix Electronix www.taninautoelectronix.com/product/2003-2007-infiniti-g35-instrument-cluster-repair/
Wassup man I have a problem with the same thing I don’t know if it’s the cluster or the thing in my driver seat pump help me out here ?
I replaced both the driver and passenger side sending units, and it ended up being the cluster. You can try cleaning the sending unit for both sides and it’s actually hard to find the pump one. I eventually found it as the top part of the pump assembly only, but in the end it was all money I didn’t have to spend. It’s hard to say
It’s most likely the cluster, I fixed it by sending it to tanin electronics
Odd question can you still start the car without the cluster plugged in, I’m trying to avoid a street sweeping ticket 😭😂
You can try. My mustang won’t, but this might
Nice work sir. Thank you! I am considering that company for a replacement Cluster. Did your procedure go as planned.
Yes, perfectly ua-cam.com/video/7HKe4pnIZ40/v-deo.html
What company did you send it to?
What company did you send yours to?

Did you have problems driving your G35 without the cluster? I have a G35x 4Wd sdn
No problems other than the gas gauge reading full and a check engine light from it

Did u had p0462 code?

junkyard clusters and/or there are similar little square led module things out there you can solder in

How long did this take is 260.00 to much for removal and reinstall?
It was gone for about a month being fixed, so plan for that. Just compare to the price in the video and see if it’s worth it
how do you take out the padding?
Where did u send it to !!
Tanin ua-cam.com/video/7HKe4pnIZ40/v-deo.html
Have you gotten it back yet? Any updates?
It’s supposed to be back tomorrow actually! I’m pretty nervous and exited. I’ll make an update when it’s done
Where did you send it to?
Tanin Auto Electronix but I didn’t want to mention the company until I see how it came back and how well they did
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage no worries, appreciate it man 💯 let us know how it goes and the price
@@josuebarraza9849 I’ll be sure to do a follow up when it’s back.
Not that difficult from the looks of it
It isn’t too bad if you know what needs to be done. 👍🏼
