Don't know how many have noticed this. Don't know if it's on all D40's. Don't know if my car is about to blow up. Don't even want possibly solutions because I'm not really suggesting it is a problem but while playing around with my scanguage a few minutes ago I just noticed something interesting happen on the dash.
Having turned the key from the on position to the off position (even removing the key) the needles all drop, instrument lights go off and the odometer remains on an unlit background. The odo stays on for about 1 minute or something then seconds later the needles drop a fraction more. After about another minute all the needles drop an inch or so further and return immediately to their resting place as if nothing ever happened.
First time I saw it I thought I had gremlins, so I had to do it again just to make sure and sure enough it happens every time. Don't know whether I've never watched any of my cars dashboard for long enough previously or if it's a Nissan quirk, either way I'm hoping my car has something special that no one elses does then I can claim its a collectors item and get more for it when I sell it.
