Z3 Dashboard Lighting


Recommended Posts

Illuminated gear knob?

Sounds like you've caused a short!!

Check for the wires that have touched, secure them, change the fuse, should be sorted!!

One other possibiity, I had this problem with my E30 & my Z3, the headlight pull can be rotated to increase the dash illuminations..... certain positions, the lights just cut out, rotate it & you might find it's all working!!

Fingers crossed for you!!

Hi Andyamn.

Thanks for your input. It's not an illmunated gear knob (unless it was originally supposed to be?!) Standard M spec option I believe.

There were wires underneather the gear knob - are those the ones whicch should be secured? What do they do? I have checked the relevant 4 fuses (those affecting the dashboard illumination as listed under the engine compartment fuse box cover). All appeared to be good.

I have read on another forum from someone changing their gear knob, that they had a short at the back of the light switch. Sadly twisting the light shitch dimmer/ rheostat makes no difference.

Think I'm going to have someone try/ fix the switch for me. No good at this stuff myself!

Thanks alot.
