    Anyone recommend a insturment Cluster repair shop in Los Angeles area?

    Might have a short in my cluster and would rather have repaired than buy new($1200) or get a used one with wrong mileage. Anyone use a shop to have a repair done? a few here in LA , not sure who's better. thanks!

    Guess this follows up my top not working post but the car is at the local independent bmw shop.Two fault codes in the cluster,k bus and central light module, they tried a test cluster today, no luck. They would only install a new one so i was prepping myself for fixing the old one instead. Now checking the power distribution box again, update me tomorrow.

    I may have posted on your other thread.
    I had both those codes and others. It was a bad ground somewhere.
    Ended up finding the grounding bar and by process of elimination found the culprit ground and isolated it.

    You did respond on my other post thanks! I hope the shop is doing that. As we speak they are trying a spare power distribution box.
