0 YoungCR Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Pull all the fuses and bend the clips so that they are tighter. This should solve the problem, as whenever my gauges have stopped working its just been because the fuse got loose. Also while your in there make sure you don't have any blown fuses either.

0 wasnt m3 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Don't know about e28's specifically, but I've seen plenty of cars with solder joints cracking on the cluster itself. If that's what it is, it'd be a pretty easy repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Brian. Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Thanks guys. I'll check fuses, an look into the gauge cluster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Brian. Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Fuses all check out good, well. Except my rear lights, but I got that fixed. Dunno. Pulled the gauge cluster, no solder looks to be cracked/etc. Anyone else? The wires to the coil all check out as well. From the looks of it...
