I knew that this fancy BMW convertible couldn't stay away from the shop for too long :D
This time the warning message on the dash is telling the driver that there is a malfunction with the turn signals.
What is the problem?
And how much $$ will it take to solve?
Place your bets now!
Enjoy!
Ivan

I used to see some of that with the DWP Fleet Vehicles. Mostly vibration that loosened the socket contacts. One thing my Dad taught me. If the bulb is good but makes intermittent contact, put the bulb upside down, use a solder iron/gun and "gently" apply heat to the contact (s) base then melt some solder to the contact. Takes a little trying, you could use an old or burned out bulb to try the repair. It eliminates bad connections. If the bulb has "one way installation" pins, you'll need to push on the bulb a little more to lock it in the socket, but makes the pins a stronger ground in their positions. Give it a try. You fixed it!

A lot of the older 80s and 90s cars used to do the same thing. I side would blink fast and they other side would blink it’s normal speed. Could always tell by the faster blinking turn signal that it had a bad bulb or bad connection to the bulb. Sometimes the ground would go bad on one side causing that side to blink fast also. Nice job Ivan. I think you gave that bulb another day to die. Hopefully not for quite a while.

Hi, guys. QUICK FIX: I had left turning light, adaptive headlight, parking light malfunction. While I'm sure it points to a larger issue: Pop up the top access to the headlight, twist off the round cover and point a hair dryer into the headlight assembly for like 15 minutes or half hour to dry everything out in there. (This works for condensation inside the lens, too.) Happy DIY-ing and saving money! I drove in heavy slush for a few hours and got these errors and this drying method worked.

This Turnsignal Bulbs (and most off the Others too) are pulsewidth modulated (PWM) so they get allways 12V when the Pulse is on. (You can check this with your Pico.) This allows to drive the Bulbs with every dimm that you want. It only needs programmed on the Lightmodule. Many german cars today owens this technics. VW buid this in since Golf V And Yes its possible to do settings via OBD... Normaly there is a Flicker (the Pulses) but you cant see this becouse the Bulp needs Time to glow up also to fade off, so it looks like 5V dimmed. With an LED you can see this flickering... Also with an Oszi like a Pico... Greetings from Austria...

I had a turn signal socket on my 1998 Chevrolet full sized pickup melt and a side marker light socket melt on my son's 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier automobile melt. I have never had any other automobile melt a bulb socket and I have been driving since 1964 and have owned many different automobiles from American manufacturers and several that were over 200,000 miles when they were sold. I know the sockets were prone to fail because when I went to the auto supply store they had the sockets in blister packs for sale on the aisle racks. Of course I live in a rural area near the interstate and often drive for many miles without turning on a turn signal so my driving pattern is not a reliable indication of most other drivers.

Nice one Ivan. I have used Deox-It products before and they are good for cleaning contacts in cars that often get a dose of the crusties. I have used it before on BMW diversity antenna electronics which are very sensitive to crusties with the gold protector solution applied afterwards and it worked well. Funnily enough I ordered some Deox-IT from the US to the UK last week. A bit of a worry that car is having a contact issue like that. Looks to be some bad design maybe, although I had a 2015 M235 until recently with the same indicators and never had this issue. Maybe somehow the right side was not sealed into the headlamp unit properly and excess moisture has been getting in that side or maybe the right side headlamp unit has a bad seal around the indicator area.....??

@Bobby Brady A little geography: the term "Euro" describes all countries that are generally in Europe, and have the "Euro" as their official currency. Europe is not a country, but Germany, France, Belgium etc are. Most people in Europe, and especially Germany have their cars serviced professionally, remember that the legal maximum traffic speeds are much higher than the US, and Germany has quite a lot of their Autobahn unrestricted, with only a recommendation of 160 km (100 miles) per hour. Hobby work on your car will kill people at these speeds. Compare to the US where it is only necessary to travel at 65 mph, some states have 75, so cars and tyres are designed only for theses speeds, plus driving is mainly straight, with very slow 90 degree turns. Tyres capable of high mileage are popular, compared to Europe, where higher performance of grip etc are preferred.

On a lot of cars with computer controlled turn signals, the exterior lights will always flash at their normal speed even if a bulb is out. Only the green indicators on the dashboard and the tick-tock sound will be sped up. Volkswagens, Audis, Porsches, Hyundais, Kias, Genesis, Mercedes, and a bunch of other cars are like that.

loving all the BMW turn signal comments. cracking me up. this is one time the no parts required took 10 times as long to fix as swapping the holder and bulb out.

But bulbs and holders don't grow on trees or cornfields. This was 100% faster and 100% more affordable than driving to the dealer for some specialty part ;)

I’m here for the BMW trashing comments for a light bulb. I think basically every car manufacturer after 2016 is using modules to control lights,windows etc.

It's just a standard 21W indicator bulb that has been in (european?) cars since the 50's (Except that it is orange but that is also very common)

If the BMW doesn't have an M or an X in front of it, it was made in Mexico for N America. The finest Mexican build quality. At German prices.

I would still have replaced bulb, loss of material on bottom contact might affect the spring load and allow it to malfunction again. (Less Pressure)

I'm a bit dissapointed Ivan ;) When I saw the symptoms I thought this would be a 5 min video incl bonus. Hyperblink is pretty common (for like 20+ years) to indicate a bad bulb (connection). Just some oxidation on the contacts. And yeah, the bottom contact is just solder aka pretty low melting point. And a soldering iron would have been an easy solution ;) But then again, it's just a dead standard 21W bulb... 10:00 Other way around ;) It just gives 12V and senses the current. And for parking light probably just PWM :)

Ah I got carried away with the DeOxit. What is the root cause of a bad contact on a 3-year-old bulb? It will be a good test of the product at least :)

I’m having a similar issue on my BMW F10 (5 series). But my front right daytime running lights & turning signals would suddenly flash really fast after a long driving distance (around 20 minutes of driving), and will not stop unless I turn the car off and then turn it back on, the problem disappears. Can anybody tell me what the issue might he? Could it be the module or the headlight itself?
