Signs of Instrument Cluster Failure in a MINI
Your vehicle's instrument cluster offers an abundance of relevant information while you are zipping through traffic or enjoying the open highways of Alberta. The information allows you to drive safely and better understand what is going on with your vehicle. You can find information like speed, rpm, engine temperature, and fuel levels, just to name a few. So when your instrument cluster doesn't act quite as it should, it may cause problems and be potentially dangerous.

Common Causes of Failure or Malfunction
Your instrument cluster in your MINI plays a central role in your experience, so there are tell-tale signs and two usual culprits when it begins to malfunction. It can either be an electrical issue or debris accumulation.
If your MINI's wiring has problems, it will cause the instrument cluster to malfunction. For example, things like corroded wires, blown fuses, or even low connectivity can affect the flow of electricity. This may result in the LED display not showing correctly, turn signals not working, headlights malfunctioning, and a check engine light may come on.
Signs of Failure
The most common sign of failure is unusual behaviour from your lights, a check engine light, lights may be dimmer, stuck gauge, fuel, and speed gauges are malfunctioning, and coolant temperature gauge not showing the correct reading.
