1999 Nissan Maxima mileage: 105,000. Bob and Ken great site. I've read the other digital dash answers you've provided to for other owners, however mine is a bit different. All gauges, the speedometer, fuel, everything works fine, however when it's cold out it takes the display a good 50 minutes to come on. I've been told that it must be a problem in the power supply to the display. Anyway, I'm pretty handy as far as repair but don't know what component on the power supply board could be bad. Any ideas? Also, are the schematics for this digital dash avail anywhere or are they kept in a vault somewhere in Japan.

The actual digital dash circuit board does not have a wiring diagram. On a normal wiring schematic it only shows the wires going up to the display. We do not know where the power supply is on the circuit board. We replace the entire circuit board when the digital dash fails. If per chance, a crack in the circuit board is causing your problem and you can locate it, you might be able to have it repaired.
