e30 indicator issue

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

A issue with the indicator, which was a intermittent niggle seems to be becoming more and more common. It either works perfectly or the following..

Just on the right side, the left works perfectly, the indicator light in the dash clicks at about double rate but none of the actual indicators do.

Im no pro when it comes to electronics so am not sure where to start other than the bulbs ;)

Cheers!

Nick

Double rate of clicking generally means a bulb has blown.

If it only does it sometimes then it maybe a bulb that isn't seated correctly or a wiring issue. I'd check that no bulbs are blown first. If no luck there then try lightly sanding and cleaning all the bulb contacts with a little CRC.

Check the condition of the wiring harnesses while you're at it. Oh, and also that the fuses that deal with the indicators are seated correctly in their slots.
