I have a 1998 Nissan Frontier XE King Cab, with 113,500 miles on it. For
the last few months the odometer quits functioning at times. It will work
normally, then it will disappear, or sometimes, when I start the truck it is
not on, then after driving 5-10 miles it magically appears. It doesn't seem
to be getting any worse, but I would say it only operates about 30-40% of
the time.

Is this an expensive item to replace? Would I be better off leaving this
repair (or replacement) to the dealer, rather than an independent repair
shop?

Thanks for any and all information.

Hello Robert,

I think it is in the ignition switch. My odometer does not go off
unless I wiggle key before removing, and sometimes not then. Does not
kill battery, so must be milliamps current wise. I'll wait before
fixing as I have other projects with higher priority.

connected to the ignition switch, because it always goes off when the engine
is shut off. But you could be correct. I'm totally confused about it, and
my experience with cars is only through driving them, and not working on
them.

In any event, I appreciate your comments. I'm going to wait also.

Take care,

Robert
