Today’s Case – Nissan Elgrand E51 Dashboard Fault Fixed

Today’s case involved a Nissan Elgrand E51 with a very frustrating fault — the entire instrument cluster would sometimes work perfectly, and other times not at all. As you can imagine, driving without knowing your speed, fuel level, or warning lights isn’t just annoying — it’s also unsafe and illegal, and an instant MOT failure.

The customer mentioned, “If you wiggle the white plug it starts working again, so just resolder it.”
We hear that a lot — and while it sounds simple, it’s rarely that easy!

At Totaltronics, we don’t just “resolder the connector” because someone thinks that’s the problem — we diagnose the issue properly. The first step is always to power the instrument cluster on the bench and replicate the fault. This helps us rule out other possible causes, such as intermittent power loss or poor wiring in the vehicle, like a rusty ground point.

Sure enough, the problem wasn’t just a bad solder joint on the connector. These faults can often be deeper inside the circuit board, and only a proper electronic diagnosis and repair will restore full functionality.
