1994 E34 Dash Board Displays Freking Out
I get into my car today, and instead of seeing "FASTEN BELTS" I get nothing. After a few seconds, all 3 screens on the dash (odometer, message screen, drive selector) started flashing. It seems as if the computer is rebooting over and over, but the strange thing is that the computer on the right with the temp, time etc is working fine. Has anyone ever heard of this problem, and shoul di be concerned.
Attached is a video from my phone of the problem. Sorry about the quality, it was taken from my cell phone.

Now THAT is ugly! You'll find a miriad of answers to strange dash behaviour in both the search section of this forum and also on www.bmwe34.net Usually related to inconsistent displays but I've never seen or heard of that one. Welcome to the board by the way. Some info on yourself, your car and a few pics never goes astray.

Don't just take my word though. There are plenty of people on this board with extensive E34 experience who may be able to help. Good Luck!

this sounds like a job for Javier, the electronics awesomedude
So where is this Javier guy, will he come to my rescue?

most likely, give him a few and bump this to the top once it goes to the bottom.

I would double check with Javier or others (there are at least two types of clusters for the E34 and I do NOT know their interchangeability requirements) but something like this might be a quick solution... For less than $100 (depends on bids), may save you some time...
It claims to be from a 92 E34...
