Hello,
I was driving my 2000 Altima on the interstate when the gauges started
freaking out.

The Speedometer went to full speed. The gas gauge is not moving along
with the tach and temperature gauge. No response from any gauge. The
car is still running and working perfectly.

Any suggestions? Is there a computer reset or fuse?

Thanks
Ben

That sounds like a bad connection on the gauge PCB itself.

I had something similar on a Nissan Almera, every thing electrical
stopped working apart from the starter and the lights, It left us
stranded in the middle of France with a flat battery after about 300
miles. The supplier promised to fix it only to have it return a month
later. Because they couldn't be sure the car was repaired and because
we couldn't go where we couldn't get public transport in an emergency we
had to trade it in against a new one. Nissan customer services just
said that as we'd bought the car outright for cash it was tough, they
didn't want to know.
I often wondered if they ever sorted it out or if it was just sold on to
some other poor unsuspecting sod.
