Just got first Xtera, a 2000, 125K....Love it!! Much better ride than the '98 Accord.

Have a question, though. Sometimes when driving, speedo, tach, all gauges readings drop to "0", but veh still runs and drives fine, everything works including a/c. Sounds like a wiring problem, or, worse case, the ECU??? Thanks for any advice...looking forward to tweaking it back to good condition and "dressing it up" a little...

WELCOME!

i know there was a thread semi-recent where someone had the same prob, i dont remember if it was ever resolved, ill dig around a lil bit and see if i can find it for ya

Does it stay that way?

Welcome!

That fuse it right there under the steering column top one in the middle row.

here it is

do the dash lights turn off when it happens?

Thanks. Anybody know the end result?? I HOPE it's not the cluster. Lights stay on, car keeps running, don't notice power loss. It does resolve itself and they start working again. Seems like it happens when they "warm up"?? I'll check the grounds......

It has to be some loose wiring. You don't have to buy a new cluster.

Ok, so if your lights stay on, then that eliminates the tail light fuse blowing which is normally caused by a short in the wiring at the towing harness or at the fog lights.

So now we have narrowed the problem. Since it is coming on, it is NOT blowing a fuse.

So now we need to know how the wiring goes from the fuse to the guages.

Check your wiring behind the fuse.

welcome

i hope your problem is identified quickly and is able to be fixed.

Welcome to the club! I know exactly what you mean... I have driven hondas for the past 11 years and I wouldn't trade my X for anything!

Still checking, I'll let ya'll know.
Did solve one problem--when I bought it the seat were stuck all the way back on the tracks. Dealer looked, couldn't fix, knocked $500 off--I found nickles in both tracks stopping seat--they work great now.....made another 10 cents........

Welcome to the club. glad you got the seat fixed. good luck with the cluster problem.
