So here is the story someone breaks into this z and steals the radio but decides he should cut the whole radio harness.. Gauges light up but the needles don't move.. The triple cluster works fine, but the tach, speedo, temp, and fuel gauge do not.. We replaced the entire dash harness with a brand new oem Nissan one.. Factory radio has been re-installed.. Cluster lights up and all the warning lights come on as well as the fuel light but the needles dont move.. I have checked all the fuses and no dice there..

I did the self diagnosis and that came out ok/

Its because those are controlled by the AC Amplifier that is located right under the radio. Do some google searches it'll turn up with the wiring diagram. Gotta replace the amp and wiring man!

Status is correct, if you were to unplug the AC amp plugs under the stereo, the needles stop working.
