In Reply to: Insane gauge cluster posted by James '82 733i on March 10, 2002 at 22:34:07:


My gauge cluster is going insane, ocasinally it will go completely dead while I'm driving, or, it moves wildly (between 20-45mph or 1k rpms-3k rpms) Sometimes it may just be the tach that will do this, others its the whole gauge cluster. Plus the "door open" buzzer comes on when the whole cluster goes dead. I suspect a lose ground, but where?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
~James

PS I've got a few loose wires in the front due to I disassembled it. The connectors are for the temp sensor, fog lights (wired though low beams) and the Aux fan. I dont think they really interfear with the gauge cluster going dead.


leaking acid can do weird things to the circuits. Also check all of grounds and connections.
