Odd issue with Cluster ('99 E39 540it)

[nanand]

Hi all. Everything on my E39 540it was working fine. I started the car yesterday and one small strip of the Cluster is not lighting up at all. It's where the Odometer, Trip Meter and Temp should be displaying (see image).

I've tried disconnecting the battery, pulling and checking fuses, and no luck. Any suggestions? I'm stuck. I ran the OBC 2 test and everything lit up fine except this row.

Thanks in advance!

This is a well-known issue. Search for pixel repair.

Where is the image of which you speak?

Hi edjack. Is the image not showing up for you? It's there for me.

I've read a lot about pixel repair. I wasn't sure this was an example of that.

Does not show for me.

Check out Fixel on Facebook, Blackknight530i here fixes cluster displays.

Your pic wasn't showing up for me either until I looked at "x" box link.
Might have something to do with the way you posted the link, a privacy setting, or that you only have 4 post.
If you copy and past the link into your browser it works, but won't display a pic by clicking it thru the forum.
