Electrical Gremlins... Help

In reverse order -

- RPM tach, fuel gauge, temp gauge, turn signals all went out at once. Didn't hear a pop or anything and i couldn't find any blown fuses. Anyone have this happen?

- One of my headlights was out (depot angel eyes) and I tested all the connections, voltage was dead on one, replaced the fuse, voltage is all good now. Except now have the angel eyes out on one side and both headlights are extremely dim.

- Climate control has been acting up, turning off or getting stuck in the on position with the screen turning off or very dim. Seems to work more reliably in cold weather, it's been dead completely for several weeks now with the warmer weather. Will be trying out the DIY to fix the board/re-solder before deciding to get a new one. Any other thoughts?

For the third one: http://www.macadamizer.com/bmwfix.html

And before you ask: Yes, it works, I've done it myself and so have a ton of other people around here. The capacitor costs less than a dollar... Really cheap and easy to fix if you have the tools.
