Strange indicator problem on E34

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Car is a 1995 E34 BMW 5-series (M5).

I noticed yesterday that if I use the LEFT indicator (turn signal), then both sets of indicators flash (i.e., it looks as if the hazard warning switch has been used).

- the RIGHT indicator works fine

- The HAZARD lights work fine

- The ALARM (BMW factory fits) works fine - it flashes the indicators on arm/disarm

- All 6 indicator bulbs are working

- The telltale bulbs in the dash are working

I have tried removing and reseating the LKM module and the Flasher relay, but neither of these made any difference.

Other than planning all my routes to avoid ever turning left :-) can anybody suggest where I should look next?

	Have you tried a relay out of another e34 to see if it still does the same?
