Hello, All
Our slightly aging 318ti has started to produce odd noises from the instrument binnacle. This is cerainly an electical thing - it is most noticeable just after turning on the ignition.
The symproms are an occassional one or two clicks, just like the indicator wanrning noise. I have noticed that the indicators do not flash when this happens, and that they work properly when required. Also, I sometimes get a sort of buzzing noise, like a relay trying to close, but arcing instead.
I am hoping that this is a known problem that I can address by (for example) changing a relay or some other component before it becomes really probelmmatic and rernder the car undrivable.
TIA
