dash issues 92 325is - BMW Forum

hunter325i · 02-07-2009, 04:33 PM

yesterday i noticed while i was driving to work that the only meter on my dash that was working was my speedometer. All of the lights work on my dash, but all the needles are all the way down to the left. also my oil lights are all out of wack. they stay lit while im driving but they flicker while i drive. i checked all the fuses relating to the dash, but all is good there. now i know BMW is infamous for linking multiple fuses to multiple things, but what??? if anybody has any ideas i would greatly appreciate it

thanks

I look forward to the solution for your question. Currently, my 325 has everything out except the speedo so there must be an answer. Cheers. Kelvin Hunter

have you tried taking your dial cluster out and checking that your connection hasnt come lose.or replacing the fuses instead of just checking them as when my headlight blow the fuse looked ok but when i replaced it just to see if it made a difference it worked.
