I have a bmw 320 L reg. When the car is running the dashboard will turn off completly, then will turn back on. Also I can only open the drivers dooor as the passenger door seems to be deadlocked.

The door issue will possibly require a replacement lock solenoid. The cluster might have an internal circuitry issue and if so replacement is indicated.

There is a possibility that the dashboard has an internal issue related to BUS communication or a circuit board failure, it is practically impossible to determine from cyberspace.
