After cluster swap battery light is up e46
Hey guys, just a quick question. 

I've changed the cluster on my e46 after virginizing it. 
Now the battery light is on, with the old cluster the battery symbol is not showing up.


Is there anything wrong with my cluster ?

Maybe a coding fail? Signal(s) can be conventional or over CAN-Bus.
Connection fail? Different wiring?

What E46? The Type-Code should say all.

Actually theres no error code, just a "SIA RESET" (00CF).
Which i guess has nothing to do with this symptom


And actually what i noticed: the clock rolls backwards (Without pressing anything) biggrin Just out of nothing. So i guess the Cluster is just done


Its a e46 from 2002. Wiring is stock

Did you check if the replacement cluster is for your car?
You should post the VIN, old cluster, and replacement cluster part number, pictures will help.

Actually part number doesn't matter since there all compatible. I cleared out the vin and Miles. 

I've had never problem like this, even if the part numbers were not the same. First time this happens 

Don't got any pictures
