BMW E36 Forum

My display has stopped working. The only dial that is working is the speedo. rev counter, petrol, temp and mileage all nothing. The mileage shows 'PPPPPP', any ideas????

My dials worked but the odometer was only showing the top half of the numbers. I opened the back and touched the solder on each contact with a soldering iron to reflow the solder and it worked a treat. Now I have a perfect working odometer, I wonder if it's the same problem on a larger scale in your case??

Thanks for the reply. Looks like I will take the dash out and have a look.
