Default Strange indicator (turn signal) problem on E34

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?

Philip, not having owned an E34, not sure if this might help... but the same
thing happened to me in an E30 325i se, traced it to the control stalk in
the end... hard to track the correct one down tho because of the computer
function on the stalk... hope it maybe helps? best of luck, louis s,
