Dashboard Lights Gremlins

[Seanhennessy]

I just purchased a 2006 325ci for my son. I didn't notice that the blinkers and high beam indicator lights only work while the car is sitting with the car turned on and the engine off. See attached video

While driving the car and you turn the blinker on it does work outside the car and it turns it self off but it doesn't work on the dashboard. If you stop and turn the car off then turn the key to on the blinkers and high beam indicator lights on the dash work.

Also while driving the high beams do light up outside the car when you turn them on but the dash indicator does not come on.

Any Idea's on what could be causing this odd problem.

First perform an instrument cluster test.

Let us know the results.

Google BMW E46 hidden obc functions” to find the gauge cluster stet test. I’m betting it’s ok, though.
