Hello. Once again I turn to the good people of this website to help me out of another predicament....
I took the battery out of my car to recharge it in the house. After I put it back, the computer won't display anything apart from "PPPP" on the centre console (under the radio) computer. Car is 1990 M5. The battery was out of the car for about 24 hrs.
None of the dials work, and the bit of the dash that shows the mileage, service lights etc is blank. The car starts and runs fine.
I've read about the problem on the internet and some people are saying it's a cable that's come loose at the back of the computer, but given that it happened at the same time as removing and replacing the battery, and the car hasn't moved, I can't imagine that's what's happened.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Thanks a lot
Jack
