E36 Gauges stopped working.
Discussion
Hi, i was wondering if anyone could shed some light on an issue i have with an E36 328i. None of the gauges, fuel, temperature,speedo or rev counter are working, all the warning lights are ok..has anyone encountered this problem before and if so what was the solution?
I have tried a different instrument panel and it was just the same. Thanks in anticipation.

I haven't heard of that as described before, There may be a fuse for it, so check and see what is there.
I've heard of dead clusters before, and errors showing in the odometer section like EEP or KI something, but it wouldn't follow a cluster swap.
You'll have to check through the wiring from the igntion switch to various earths etc, and also see if other things work as normal, like the odometer increasing, a full rev range to 6500 and not bouncing off a limiter at 5500 (hard to tell, I know) and see if the wipers react normally to speed changes.

Its certainly got me scratching my head..i've checked the fuses for the dash and all appear to be intact, i've never had a dash that didn't work after simply removing and refitting it.
Haven't driven it yet to check the odometer is actually counting up the miles, will give that a go. Could be time for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your input.
