Spanish D40 V6 Dash

[user 49255]

Hi folk,
I have a Navara D40 V6 Spanish build. The dash board does not display the full details of the trip meters etc. It happened 6 months ago and at that time the cruise control also was playing up: not locking, not releasing, having to press cruise buttons repeatedly to get results. It has just reappeared. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. Mark

Boobook I believe the problem with the cruise control could be a rubber bump stop on the brake pedal wearing out or falling off . I have the same problem with mine and that has been suggested where the problem lies . Some people have fixed it by wrapping duct tape or something similar around the top of the brake pedal arm . I have not fixed mine so I am am not certain but I have seen photos of the bump stop . I think the bump stop sit ,against a switch of some sort and as soon as you touch the brake pedal when using cruise control it takes it out of cruise control . Good luck. Murray

Thanks Murray. Any idea about the dash display? Not showing the correct parameters/details? Cheers,

The problem with cruise control might be the brake pedal switch … on mine stop lights worked but cruise didn’t switch was faulty replaced & works great now as for dash I didn’t have that problem but try resetting by removing battery lead for 5 minutes ( the old on /off trick !)

My dash does it sometimes. I give it a sharp whack on the curve of the dash, brings all instruments lights etc.. back into play. Not great advice I know but works for me

My dash also does not display the odometer kms or trip meters. Pushing the trip meter reset stalk brings it all back until I turn the car off again.

Boobook I have had to reset something on my dash that evolved switching car on and of in a prescribed pattern to reset the instruments . I think mine may have had something to do with abs . The other guys advice on hitting the dash would suggest loose wire or connection .
