dannie 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2009 Hey my indicators have randomly stopped working (push the lever nothing will happen) car is a bmw e30 318i 1986. i installed an alarm at the start of the year but i dont think that will have anything to do with it. ive read that it could be the flasher relay thing. any comments will help cheers.

Matty104 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2009 Mine did this a while back, would work some days and the next day they wouldnt, changed the flasher unit with a spare on i had and problem solved, so your best bet is too change that first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hotwire 352 Report post Posted November 25, 2009 Been discussed here before. Bound to be the flasher at fault & is easliy fixed. Problem normally a dry solder joint inside on the board Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antil33t 90 Report post Posted January 4, 2010 Isn't it under the plastic cover for the steering colum? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forrest 35 Report post Posted January 4, 2010 Okay I have found it. Looks like some genius unplugged it and didn't label the wires Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forrest 35 Report post Posted January 4, 2010 Does anyone know what color wire goes to which letter on the relay? Please and thanks this is the ultimate fail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antil33t 90 Report post Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) This might help. I have complete diagrams on PDF. Edited January 4, 2010 by antil33t Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forrest 35 Report post Posted January 4, 2010 K so with Antileet's help I got the hazards working (cheers dude I owe you a e-beer). Just can't get the indicators to work. Anyone got any ideas???? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antil33t 90 Report post Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) There was another page too, if this helps at all. I really need to get my hands on an Euro Wiring diagram... The one in the Haynes manual that I have is more "euro" I think, but it's stupidly hard to comprehend. Edited January 4, 2010 by antil33t Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
