Cluster problem E46

[John_D]

A minute after starting this morning I was greeted with this:


10min later it came back:


All the other unused pixels lit up dimly though

Car smelled damp when I got in and all my CDs were fogged up so I assume it was caused by dampness.

Anyone experience this before?
Dash illumination and auto dimming is working 100%

Hopefully it'll be ok tonight when I return to it.

Similar happened on my one John but turned out to be the battery was fooked. 2yrs later and hasn't happened since.

Water getting in around the passenger footwell?

Funny you mention the battery, I had to jump it the other day because i left a door open for the day.
bugger...

That combination right there is your problem John. Damp in the car from it open combined with a weak battery which temps such as last nights lows would highlight. A wallet friendly fix all going well

Lets hope so, I`ll turn up the heat for the drive home

How's it tonight?

[John_D]

It's alive!!
