Dash lights going crazy
I'm experiencing crazy dash lights and gauges when I shut the car off. 02 r53

All seems normal while car is running.

I've done the ecu software reset. Disconnected the battery for30 min. Still a problem

Ecu, ignition switch, stuck relay?

Help..... Ugh

Paul

Tnx!!!

Drivers side is wet. Pass side is dry.
I take it back is on pass side, yes?
Going to open up both sides when I get home from work, dry out, find leaks and clean up connections.

Welcome. yep check that side thats wet out and make sure its not soaked and dry things out.
If you have a sunroof its those drain tubes most of the time.
