Was the car parked outside?
Maybe moisture got into the wiring harness and is causing a connectivity issue at the ECU or maybe at the footwell module which controls the dash lighting. With the battery disconnected, try unplugging and re-plugging the connectors.
note: you may lose the radio station settings and some other presets when you disconnect the battery...

I was driving my 2013 Mini as my everyday commuter, stopped driving it back in March. Just started to drive it a few days ago and all of a sudden the gas gauge doesn’t illuminate, the speedometer doesn’t work at all as well as the lights usually illuminated on the cluster. No lights on the console illuminated or the RPM lights on the tachometer but the car to me drives just fine. Hard to know if the check engine light is on cause no lights Illuminate on the speedometer cluster for me to know. I used a scanner and all codes point back to a faulty ECU.
is it safe to still drive locally? Or I could potentially be doing more damage to the car?
help! I cannot figure out what the real issue is or what to fix and could use some input. Maybe someone has had this issue
