749 Electrical Headscratcher

  1. Hello all, i have a problem with my 2004 749, when i switch on tbe ignition the speedo does not light up and the rev counter does not do its diagnostic sweep! However if i switch my lights on the dash lights up(still no diagnostic sweep) then if remove the 7.5 amp fuse that feeds the dash,and then put it back in,everything lights up and does the sweep! Once i turn off the ignition it goes back to not working again, anybody have any ideas? Or could recomend somebody in the north east of england that could have a look at it? Thanks
     
  2. Try pulling the dash off and clean all the pins behind it.
    Worked for me.
