Instrument cluster problem

demolanike · 02-03-2013, 05:28 PM

I WAS DRIVING MY 2003 BMW 330i TODAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS ON THE CLUSTER CAME ON. I SWITCHED OFF THE ENGINE AND SWITCHED IT BACK ON, THOSE TWO INDICATOR LIGHTS WENT OFF AND AFTER SOME ,MINUTES IT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. CHECKED THE BRAKE OIL, BRAKE PADS EVERYTHING LOOKS FINE. SOMETIMES THE TWO INDICATOR LIGHTS WILL CHANGE FROM RED TO YELLOW. NOW AS I WAS COMMING BACK ON MY JOURNEY. THE ODOMETER GAUGE AND THE FUEL ECONOMY GAUGE STARTED ACTING ERRATIC AND AFTER SOME TIME ALSO STOPPED WORKING. WE HAD A SNOW STORM YESTERDAY AND IT ALSO RAINED ALSO. COULD IT BE BECAUSE OF THIS OR SOMETHING ELSE. I CHECKED THE FUSES CONTROLLING THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, ALL THREE FUSES ARE FINE. WHAT DO I DO? DOES ANYONE HAVE THE ANSWER?

You can try 2 things, first try a cluster reset and second disconnect your battery and let sit for half an hour or more.

Talking about fuses, the clock doesn't work in my 04 325i. Guys from the forum suggested to check fuse. Today I opened the fuse board in the glove compartment, looked at the fuse diagram and got totally confused as I couldn't find any fuse corresponding to a clock. Please, help me to find out which fuse is for clock and how to find out whether it is blown or not. Does it change color? I don't want to touch this board without knowing what I'm doing and mess my car up. Thank you.
