Gauges not working. When car is on for a long time I hear three long high chimes, a pause then a real long chime for about a minute then the chimes cuts out. Then code pops up on information board. When I turn off the engine at night my information center is still illuminated or lit up and my brake light stays on.

Hello,

Thanks for the video. It looks like the cluster is bad and needs to be replaced rebuilt/used which is common for BMW's of this age. Here are diagrams and instructions to do the job. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.
