Hello!

So i tried take apart my cluster! Tried to cover that speaker responsible for beeping sound. And in the process i think i damaged gas consumption gauge. It doesn't move now...
i tried a few different clusters from the same E60's however the production year was different. All of the gauges worked, but the gas consumption one...

Is it possible that i messed something else up?

Any ideas?

Do an instrument gauge test.


What exactly did yo u do to the cluster? The chime comes through the audio system not some little speaker.

Just tried it. Everything, but the gas consumption needle works.
I guess i need to get a new cluster, and program it.

Just an update, after playing more with the needle i was able to fix it! Put a needle in and turned it clockwise probably 5 times while pushing the needle in. and guess what it worked!!
