Here;s my problem:
The instrument cluster on my 1993 318i is messed up. It's turns on and off. There really isn't any pattern on when it dies, it just happens randomly. When I am stopped or parked with the engine on, the entire instrument panel dies sometime and turns on with the chime (indicating open door or something).
Then when I am driving, the cluster occassionally dies completely or all the lights (abs, airbag, service....) in the instrument panel just turns on.
This is another thing that I discovered today. When using the cruise control and the instrument cluster dies, the cruise control turns off. The cruise cruise control wont turn on until the instrument panel comes back to life. This is the same as my wiper, the "interval" function ceases when the instrument cluster acts up.
Do you guys know what's goin' on?
