All, Over the past week I have noticed that the battery light in the instument cluster keeps flickering on at various intervals. It seems to come on in and around the 50km/hr mark, and goes off once the car has started to slow down. I have checked all connections at the battery, but they seem fine! Anyone come across this before! Geoff ------------- |

First thing to do is to clean all connections with contact cleaner, including any earth straps and reattach. Corrosion and dirt can cause intermittent probs even if all contacts appear good and tight. ------------- 1995 316i, 2002 520i |
