E46 Instrument Cluster Capacitor at Steven Teter blog

E46 Instrument Cluster Capacitor. Do be advised when you take the old cluster you need the code plug that's mounted inside the brown plug. An esr meter (equivalent series resistance meter). Pretty interesting what a seemingly random/unrelated set of symptoms from a blown capacitor on the cluster. There are three versions of the instrument cluster all with their own code plug. You can't interchange the code plug in between the different versions, but you can swap the entire cluster. The cap leaks its electrolytic fluid onto the pcb and starts doing damage. You need an esr meter to determine the existing capacitance that the cap has. Next i swap the working cluster from my 2004 e46 (yup, i have 2 e46 325i), the 2004 cluster works which confirmed that my 2003 cluster is. In this project we will remove the instrument cluster from your e46 and see what is repairable inside. There's a capacitor that seems to be prone to leaking on these clusters. There are traces right around the cap.

Cant tell if capacitor in cluster is bad E46 Fanatics Forum
