Faulty turn signal
Hi,
One night, while parallel parking I heard a snap (or a "heavy click") from inside the steering wheel column as I turned the wheel to guide the car into the parking spot. Soon after, my car, a 1997 BMW 3 Series Touring, developed a weird turn signal problem: the right-rear won't flash anymore, while the right-front and right side repeater flash at what seems twice the rate (complete with matching "twice-as-fast" ticking from the turn signal stalk on the steering wheel column). At first, I thought it was the bulb, but the next day, I tested the lights before driving off, and all four hazards, as well as the right turn signal worked properly. However, during driving, the problem manifested itself again. Now, a few days later, the problem is persistent, i.e. the hazards won't light up the right-rear signal (activating/deactivating the alarm doesn't either). And when I use the right-turn signal, it flashes (and clicks) at twice the frequency. Any idea what the problem might be, and where I should look first? Thanks, -- Peter |
