[QUOTE="Vincent Hor, post: 392086, member: 1221"] Serjit, Item 2, from what I know this is a common problem with E39 & E38 meters. I heard M/Benz also has this problem. You can try the clean the contacts method first. Get your mechanic to remove the meter cluster and spray contact cleaner on all electrical contact points. Hopefully, it will work.
