You're talking about the gauge illumination, right? That would certainly be irritating. Does it happen both day and night? Try bringing the brightness up one notch (controls on upper left side of cluster). But that's a long shot. It sounds more like a cold solder joint somewhere on the cluster, which would be even more irritating... Has the cluster ever been out for any reason? Thinking about reseating the main connector. Not sure if you can reach that from the footwell but it might be worth a try... That's all I can think of.

Not sure about if it has ever been out before.. i have driven at nigjt since it started.. but i did have the lights on today since it was raining. I did not notice it do it.. but it was raining so i was paying attention more on the road.. I keep it 2 taps under max brightness. I have tried higher and lower and it still does it. When this crappy weather stops ill have to check the connector..
But the blinking is annoying. I have a warranty. May be if it works my nerves enough i will take it too nissan or infiniti.

so i went out and drove it last night, and the gauge lights still blink, when the headlights are on.. So I'm thinking something is loose. UUUGGGHHH, guess i'll have to take the gauges out and find out.
