UBH8N 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2013 So i was trying to get my reverse lights going, testing the power at the plug under the gear stick boot. All was good untill i took it for a drive a few hours later and found there was a problem with the speedo cluster and heater. With the cluster the speedo reads fine, as it always has. The temp gauge compleatly dosnt move. Both the rev and fuel gauge go on and off when i move the wires under the gear stick boot, but the petrol only reads half of what it actually is. And the inspection light no longer illuminates. Also the heater fan has stoped going on all settings, and the washer bottle light has came on even tho its full. Dose anyone have any idea whats going on and how to fix? i havent yet checked the fusses, not sure what ones to check, just going to do them all tomorrow. Any input appreciated, will try to upload a video tonight, if not tomorow 89'E30 320i with m20b25 engine with stroker kit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucan 196 Report post Posted August 1, 2013 Take off all the center console and trace the wires looking for a wire thats exposed, crimped, rubbed through etc...I believe the diff speed sensor thing wires run up into the console where you're poking at stuff.

UBH8N 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2013 Fixed It! Pulled these two wires through a bit more and found they had both rubbed through, insulated them and replaced a blown fuse and all back to normal. Thanks for the help guys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
