Instrument cluster restart when engine is off

Alancameron · 02-10-2024, 12:40 AM

Hi all

Last night I turned the car on and randomly got a service required indicator and then a red dot appeared between my millage and trip. I then turned the engine off and noticed the instrument cluster with my speedometer and rev counter started to continuously restart. Has anyone seen this before? It’s a 2018 plate

Thanks
Alan

Did your headlights also flash randomly? I had that (addressed in other posts here) on my 2019 540xi and I also noticed that when it happened my dashboard came alive as if I had started the car. There is a TSB on the headlight flashing that recommends replacing the headlight rotary switch (asI recall). My dealer refused to do anything (BMW computer said not to) so I am just watching and waiting. Haven't had the problem for a while. I do not know if your problem is related but I wanted to note it just in case. Good luck with a fix. --Bob
