BMW 5 Series Dashboard Instrument Cluster Repairs

BMW 5 Series Instrument Cluster ProblemsBMW 5 Series Dashboard Instrument Cluster Repairs
Instrument Clusters are common failing parts on many vehicles, especially the BMW 5 Series. The instrument cluster faults are not specific to certain models, all the BMW 5 Series E34 / E39 / E60 / E61 can be affected, with the faults varying from model to model.

Common Instrument Cluster / Dashboard Problems
The most common faults that have been found with the BMW 5 Series Instrument Clusters include:

  • Gauge Failure
  • Background Illumination Failure
  • No SoundGauges Flicker & Reset to 0
  • LCD is Faded or Pixelated
  • Speed Stays at 0MPH
  • Complete Power Failure
  • Outside Temp Display Failure / Incorrect
  • Odometer Display Failure / Incorrect
  • Trip Computer Failure / Incorrect

Faulty instrument clusters can either be repaired / rebuilt or replaced however each of these options come with different cost implications. If you decide to replace your instrument cluster, it will only come with a 12-month warranty and it will also need to be coded / programmed to your vehicle which will be done at an additional cost. You can also purchase a second-hand used part which will work out cheaper initially, and will come with a limited warranty of 30-90 days. However, it will need coding / programming to your vehicle, and all used instrument clusters must also be calibrated to read the correct mileage which is usually at an additional cost.

    • Hi Darren

      Thanks for the enquiry,

      I would recommend getting an auto electrician out first to investigate the issue. If the fault is within the instrument cluster then we can definitely help you, we can fully bench test and repair the unit is faulty. All remanufactured units are returned with a lifetime warranty and will be plug & play, meaning no programming is required when you reinstall it.

      I have sent you an email with full information and pricing. If you have any questions, please reply to the email and we’ll be happy to assist you.

      Kind Regards

    • Hi Mian

      Thanks for your enquiry,

      We always recommend having your original unit repaired where possible as you can never guarantee how long a used part will work, if at all. The unit part would also need reprogramming to pair with the vehicle and have the mileage corrected, which are additional costs that can be avoided when repairing your own unit.

      I have sent you an email with full pricing and information. If you have any questions, please reply to the email and we’ll be happy to assist you.
