ok.. i've got a problem and i'm really worried bout it.. i've heard from several people that 240's are notorios for electrical problems. well i never had a problem with my 1990 fastback. btu i recently purchased a 92 cooupe se mint conditon cat find anything wrong.. but i was drving tonight and the guage lighting . cut out. i could see that the guages were still working.. but the light would cut out intermittently.
btw my left headlight has a problem turniong on sometimes.. it will be off when the pop up but then i flash the highs for sec the turn on after
wll a new guage assembly fix this.. also  will changing the headlight fix this as well. do u think it might be a fuse?
thanx

My car was doing something similarly..  The lights would come on, but I had to hit my High Beams to get them to pop-up.  Had it checked by nissan and they said it was the Swith on the Column, and the headlight controller going bad..  Still works though..  My dash lights never went out, but my AC lights are out..  they told me it just needed new bulbs though..
