Hi all. Vehicle came in with no indicator or main beam tell tale on dash. External lights all work fine. When the sidelights are switched on , the dash warning lights work. We have noticed that the radio/satnav unit will not switch on unless the sidelights are on. Fault code retrieved from instrument cluster are, 88 instrument bus and BE internal fault in light module. Using Autel. We removed the cluster firstly and checked all mutiplugs, cleared the codes but the fault is still present with only the I- bus fault code. Has anyone come across this fault before ?, my thoughts are there is a comms issue on this I bus line, maybe caused by the satnav unit perhaps. Any thoughts greatly appreciated. Last X5 we had in with electrical faults had water in n/s/r of boot where all the audio equipment is, but this is one is dry. There is a water leak into the o/s/r but it does not seem to be affecting anything but obviously will need fixing. Thanks again Phil

Thanks Alan for your reply, however we traced this to the light control module in n/s/f kick panel. When we removed it the terminal plugs were full of water. Sunroof drain blocked, causing water leak into cabin.
