A weak battery can cause these symptoms, it happened with me 2 years ago, replaced the battery and never happened since.
good luck, Bismark. USA

Thank you for the answer !!
Yes it might be that. Because my battery died 3 - 4 times before ...

THANKS again!


But WTF ? I just went out to the car and took a drive , then discovered that some parts of the cluster donīt work. The Speed meter and the petrol /100km gauge donīt work .
Is it still the battery that is playing around ? HELPPPP
