Help time please

None of the dash cluster works when engine running.

Key in ignition brings on all the lights as normal but I’ve not got the rev counter, temp gauge or fuel gauge working.

All fuses in engine bay are good.

Have you any ideas or things you recommend I try.

Car has been stood for a while so I thought I’d get it out today and give it a once over.

Sorry Mate. I'm not going to be much use - the wiring diagram has a squillion references to the instrument cluster.

But if it was me I'd slide the cluster forward out of the binnacle to get access to the rear and undo and redo the connectors on the back. Maybe a bit of moisture or corrosion got onto the connectors. Just moving them might get them connected. If that works then a spray of contact cleaner.

3 litre Z3 pretending to be Italian exotica. Two previous E89 Z4s.
I’ve sorted it out!
removed fuses, and put them back in!
it’s all good again. The type of repair I like
Chances are a bit of condensation got in somewhere.
I have been starting and warming up my car once a week recently as there has been far too much condensation around in my garage for my liking recently.
