Ok, this one is getting on my nerves now. I've gone through 3 clusters, couple si boards and even bypassed the si board. Here is what's happening-
My speedometer and odometer work fine for about first 5 miles and then stop. Speedometer needle starts jumping all over the range and then drops to 0 and stays there.
So, I put in another speedometer/odo unit and does the same thing. I then tried bypassing the SI board altogether and it still does the same thing. So, it can't be the SI board since it's bypassed altogether. Keep in mind, all other gauges work just fine.
Today I picked up another cluster, I found one from a 90 325i, so just for the heck of it I put that one in place. Once again all gauges work, I drove the car and speedometer was working fine for 5.1 miles and then started jumping all over the range and eventually dropped to 0.
Now I can't believe it's an SI/Cluster problem since I've gone through about 3 clusters.
What's the next step, where is the speedometer/odo getting it's signal, it's gotta be something other than the cluster
Only thing left is to pull the speedo/odo from the 90 325i cluster and i'll instal it in my 318 cluster and try it again.
