Getting your BMW X5 E53 dash gauges to work again

- After a low battery or jump start you may lose all your dash lights and gauge functions. This video will show how to reset your dash by pulling fuses 1, 43, and 45, turn the key to position 2 for several seconds, remove the key, reinstall fuses. At the end of the video you’ll see my 4x4 light on but it went out as soon as I pulled out of the garage.

I own a 2006 E53 X5 that I will likely never sell or get rid of. It is a workhorse, great in all weather. After my dash gauges stopped working, I watched your video. It worked perfectly. Thank you very much! Great video!
Battery was empty and I had a lot of meters that did not work. this tip makes everything work perfectly again. You make my day! Thanks!
Was skeptical as h3ll, but this worked! Thx for posting. Fuel gauge and odometer went out but everything else was fine. Pulled fuses & now back to normal.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! My mechanic couldn't fix it and I had thoughts of scrapping the car, but gave your video tips a try and...almost in tears because I can keep the car now. 2007 BMX X5 had different fuses, etc but the basic technique you described worked!
OMG, thank you so much! I did it in less than 5 minutes just by following the video. Gauges working again!!
Worked on my 2004 X5, I thought for sure I needed a new cluster.. thank you, priceless info
Thank you so much for this video! I have a 2005, BMW X5, 4.4V8. My cluster was not working properly. I did everything exactly the same way you explained. Worked like a charm. Everything workes perfectly. 👍👏 You saved me from paying $200. Thanks!
Just to say, massive thank you for posting this video - 2005 e53 4.8is - This very morning just decided it would give all lights showing but no needle movement. Turning the ignition off left the dash lights on and the exterior lights on and to top it off the key then stopped working.
This fix has just resolved it!
You are the man I followed your steps on my 2006 X5 and the lights as well as the fuel indicator came right back. Thank you so much .
Had to jump start my x5 and I think it caused this issue. Thanks for the video. Everything works great now
Going to try the trick to my X5. Insyaallah it will work. Big thank to Sir Corey Morgan.
Thanks brotha it helped me with myE38 you pointed me in the right direction, PEOPLE if you have a E38 and I'm pretty sure with other BMWs look for INSTRUMENT CLUSTER in the fuse box and remove all the number fuses and do what this video did but not the same number fuses follow what days on your fuse box and turn the key without the fuses and then put the fuses back and start it and it should work, this happened to me because my car battery died and I jumped it and the lights and the gauges didn't work so I did this and it worked, thanks again brotha from anotha motha
That you for making this video! I followed your directions and everything came back online perfectly. Thank you!!
Definitely worked! My fuel gauge and status lights went out and the heater flipped from F Fahrenheit to C Celsius during a cold snap when the battery got weak one day and ran down. This quick fix solved and reset it all.
No Dash lights everything dead on my 2006 X5, followed step for step now all working again, thanks so much for the video.
Thanks a bunch. This has been driving me nuts not having gauges. Just saved me taking my 03 x5 to the garage. 😎🍻
Thanks so much for posting this video , worked a treat..
Thanks man!!! Exactly what I needed! You rule the free world!
Tip - to clear the light. Turn steering wheel full lock each way. Needs to be done every time the battery is disconnected.

Worked like a charm. Thanks
2006 x5 worked perfectly thank you
Followed your information and worked perfectly, thank you.Glenn BangayKalbarriWestern Australia
Worked on my 2006 X5. Thanks!
Excellent instructions worked first time for me ,thank you 💯👍🏼
Thank you Sir. You are a Saint!
Awesome fix! Was totally bummed out when this starting happening. These instructions work perfectly and immediately fixed the problem. Good as new!
Thanks a million. This worked for my 03 4.6is 👊👊
Didn't work the first time as I removed the wrong fuse ! Bifocal wearer 😎 so tried again counting the numbers along from the tiny 40 marker on the fuse box and it worked. Thank you so much you are a star.
Flawless victory!!!!!! Worked perfectly. Thank you!!!!!!
Thank you .I fixed my BMW in minutes & it was so easy to do
Thank you for taking the time to post this video, it was a great help!
Thanks for the video man!! I have a 2003 X5 and I’m having this same problem, I didn’t try these steps yet because I don’t have the car with me, but I’m pretty sure this will solve the problem
Thanks again
Many thanks! Worked for me as well after changing alternator and having low battery.
Holy crap it worked thank you ! 2005 x5
Thank you 🙏🏽 it worked
Maaaate!! Much appreciated. I have an E53 4.4 v8. Needed a little work but sorted everything out after visiting a few wreckers etc. down to one thing now. Found a wrecked 4.8 car. My dash was cracked due to
previous owners being a bit rough. I’ve since fitted the nice grey faced gauge dash into mine. Works sweet sure but a couple of things not displayed but 4x4 light is continuously running so I will try the fuse removal trick.
Much appreciated
Cheers 🍻
If only your 4x4 light is on, I don’t think this trick will fix it. Sometimes the 4x4 light stays on for a few miles after a computer reset. If it doesn’t doesn’t go out on its own, then probably something else is going on. Probably a TH-cam video about it somewhere.
@@AK907dude yes the 4x4 light was never burning until I replaced the cluster unit. I do have a OBD plug in unit I can find & isolate the problem that way.
Thanks
@@djdale.5806 I had 3 different lights on last year, 4x4, brake and something else. OBD scanner didn’t tell me the issue. I hooked up a PC and INPA software, translated the German and narrowed it down to a broken wire going to the front left wheel. Hopefully your light goes off after driving it a bit.
THANKS BRO!!..
YOUR A LIFE SAVER..
WORKS PERFECT FOR ME!
Thanks. This sorted my 2006 x5.
Worked great !!!
Thank you very much sir .
Thanks this was really helpful.. Saved me some money
Thank you for your Beautiful video. It helped me solve this problem.
Lots of people would have wasted time and money taking it into a dealer or mechanic. Than you
Thank you, it works perfectly!
Great video very helpful
thanks for the video it helped me a lot💯
Perfect. Thanks👍
Hell yea brother it worked!!
Worked for me, Thank you!
Thank you !!!
Saved me again 🙏
Worked perfect thank you
Worked for me many 1000 thanks.
Thank you so much for the information. You saved us at least 102.00 plus dollars just for the diagnostic test.
Thank you it's work on my x5 2006
Great video, Bro.
I thought I had burned everything on my 2006 X5 when I jump by battery. all gauges stopped working and no information in the computer.
I was able to bring it back as it was thanks to your video.
Although I could not get my door locks to work with the remote control, I'm assuming that's another unrelated issue.
Thanks Again.

Just got my battery replaced and the instrument cluster was out and temp was in Celcius. Did this reset and everything reverted back to normal and cluster was back up and running. Thanks!
You are the best.... THAAANNNKKK YOUUUUU
2002 x5 Worked for me, Thank you!
Perfect - cheers cobber
Thanks soooo much that did the trick after I swapped my battery out and lost all my dash
Replaced battery same issue/ saw your video and all fixed/ ty man!! Wow that bmw fuse puller is a joke ehh?
Pull 1-5a, 45-5a, 43- 5a key in position 2 reinstall
THANKS man problem solve exelent video
I have 2006 X5 battery died so I got a jump but didn’t research HOW to do it, the car started but all the gauges gone, I did this fuse check to reset but it didn’t work for me, any other idea how to fix? I alrdy had lost my Navi system months ago so I was using steering controls but now I don’t even have a gas gauge
Will this work if only half the dash is illuminated?
This was a big help! Thank you. My turn signal lights were not working or rely clicking. I removed said fuses, turn the ignition on, waited, turned off, placed fuses back in and my turn signals worked and making noise again.
Thank you!
Q: What is the deck that you have installed? I'm looking into purchasing one.
It’s an Alpine unit with Apple Car play. Got it from Crutchfield with all the adapters. It was pretty easy install.
You are the man! Recharged battery then dead instrument cluster now back to life. Thank you... Before seeking help I checked all fuses and they were good so I was stumped. So, how'd you stumble on this solution?
Rasheed Ogunyoku, I read about it in a forum and decided to make a video of me trying the fix.

@@AK907dude Well, thank you again for your service. Would have never figured that out.
With this work for the blinkers and diagnosis screen not working on the dash? All my other lights show up just not those. I'm going to give it a try later today 🤞🤞
Did not work for my issue
Hi! I have the same problem but with a BMW X5 2008, by any chance do you know how to do it with that model?
Did you find a fix ... mine just did the same
Hello my friend, is there a door opening light in the dashboard x5 e53?
Not a light. But text will tell you a door is ajar. But it won’t tell you which door.
2006 X3 & it worked. That is some serious bad logic going down.....
Please help me, what should I do my 05 bmw x5 push start button, there's no lights on the cluster at all.
If you followed these directions to the “T” and it didn’t help, then I don’t know what else to try. You say you have a “push start button”, but ‘05s do not have that.
Hi, what is the insurance name?
💯%👍🏾
Did the 4x4 light ever turn off?
Yes, within minutes of pulling out of the garage.
Good job bro.pls I have problem gauging all is dancing when I need to starting engine and tourn off .after 1 min I shout down engine and start again all is back working but dancing little bit please help
My bmw e39
My e39 has same problem, when i start the car it is working then after some time all the gauges start dancing then just stop working at all.
I only have partial lights working. Cant see the numbers or letters correctly will this work?
I don’t think so. Do you maybe just need to replace the dash light bulbs??
@@AK907dude yeah i just saw another video just now on it. Its only like 5 little bulbs to switch it. Someone commented its probably the easiest thing to change on an x5. Ive only owned my 2002 x5 for a week and the battery light just came on. Im hearing stuff like after changing the battery i have to register the battery doing some reprogramming or something. Im starting to wonder if this was a wise decision buying this vehicle. Smh
Manuel Tovar I’ve heard you have to register your battery as well but I bought mine at Costco and did not register anything and it works just fine. My battery light never came on. It just would not have enough juice to start after 2 weeks of sitting. They are great cars if you are good at understanding videos and not afraid to fix them yourself.
@@AK907dude i just ask costco if they have a BMW battery? Mine is a 2002 maybe they added that feature on newer models.
@@AK907dude im a service technician in HVACR and beverage machines i think i could learn from videos pretty well. Ive watched videos for my Chevy Tahoe repairs and done well so far. Only thing is BMW has a hell of alot of stuff to remove just to change something out. It'll be a challenge but hopefully videos like this will help me along the way. Thanks for the info and im definitely subscribing to this channel.
My dash goes dead after I drive it then comes back on restart , now I lost speedometer, which wheel sensor do I need to replace? And now I’ve got engine fail safe program , anyone have any answers?
Does this work for a 2006 X5?
It should.
Does this work on the e70???
I don’t know. I only own e53’s.
Is there something else that can be done of that doesn't work
Not that I know of.
just saw this video. when i initially start the veh. the lights come on. but then they go off. tried your solution , didn't work. any other ideas? Thanks
MrBikercat if your gauges are working but just the background lights go dim, that is normal if you are driving in the daytime. If it’s happening at night as well then I would say there is something wrong with the rain/light sensor behind your review mirror.
