Hey all, I've got a 1998 nissan pathfinder that recently had the instrument cluster die on me so I sent it off for repair. Only problem is I need to drive the pathy to and from work and it only makes it about a day before the battery dies due to the alternator being triggered by the cluster. Does anyone here have any experience bypassing the cluster to make the alternator charge the vehicle when its on? I did a test with a multimeter and as soon as I unplug one of the big plugs on the cluster while it runs it goes from 14+ volts immediately to 12-12.7v. Any way I can jump a wire anywhere to bypass it for the next couple weeks? Thanks- 5 replies

Hey guys, so im driving to work at 4 this morning. All the lights on the dash come on so im thinking alternator because that's what happened last time. However last time it kept running on battery, this time it started chugging, lights got really dim and it died. I just put in this alternator a year ago and battery is less than 6 months old. Why would it die that quickly? No issues starting, no issues period. Any ideas would be welcomed! Thanks!
