Service lights failed

[gazzab]

My 94 5 series service lights have failed, not that bothered but is there a fix?
They are still lit but the garages tool wouldnt reset to green.

Not sure on that one, maybe reset the ecu?

Not quite sure if this is the same problem, but it may help

My recently aquired E34 520i had a problem where the trip/speedo/service lights display would come and go

To fix it I obtained a second hand instrument cluster from a 93 525tds though this part had obviously been replaced at some stage because it was date stamped 96 (different fuel/rev counter but the part your interested in, the circuit board that fits to the rear is the same)

The instrument clusters are a quality peice of kit and come apart beautifully (to remove the air bag steeing wheel DISCONNECT the battery before commencing working)

I paid 30 quid off a guy breaking a car on ebay (the cheapest the specialist breakers wanted was over 90!)

Notice yours is a 525i so a you'll need the higher top speed speedo (ie not a 518/520 or 525tds one)

Have a look on www.realoem.com to assess compatibility

also if your your has an OBC you'll need a different one (the part your looking for is described as 'RMFD CONDUCTOR PLATE'
