Should I go to the dealer and get the TSB replacement part that may also be just as faulty as what's on the car now or do I pull the fuse?

Get the TSB replacement then pull the fuse.

I've got an extended warranty so I got the replacement SLU and if it died they have to fix it on their dime. Once my warranty is close to being up I'll pull the fuse.

And good afternoon V's and P's! I'm at the beach,as I always am on a Monday, but today it sucks. It's not warm out or sunny at all. But at least the spring-break'ers are gone and I have some alone time to relax with pandora.

On another note, I sold one of my old guitars on Craigslist, then some old gumball machines they were gonna throw away at work, and now I've done two headlight resto jobs. That means I'm buying Swift springs, probably today, so I should be dropped by the end of the week. Happy happy happy!!

Bum deal.

For me, Nissan just called and they are replacing both fuel level sending units. This means they keep the car overnight -- oh well. They keep it inside the shop, at least.

that sucks, mr. onzedge.

is that the same issue found on mr.gale's z a while back?

does this have anything to do with not having fuel near full frequently?

I think it is a known issue with the sending units and nothing to do with how much gas one puts in the tank. I could rarely get the last LED to illuminate and I could drive for more than 100 miles (highway) before the fuel gauge dots began disappearing. No big deal -- it's a warranty thing and I am working from home today and tomorrow anyway.

Yep, Nissan did the same on my car. Took them ~2 hours.

I don't think it has anything to do with the amount of gas in the tank, I keep mine full most of the time. I had heard it might have something to do with the type of gas. I'm not buying that either. The tech that worked on my car said it was common for Nissans to have this issue. He saw it on Altima and Maxima frequently.

i saw the after math of a prius and vw crashed at an intersection.

it was like watching 2 birds hit each other with no stones needed.

Sweet. We used to call cars that had cheap/junk/glue-n mods "JC Whitney Mobiles".
