[QUOTE="solo, post: 437338, member: 18358"] Turn on your hazard lights and see which signal bulb is out. If all are blinking, dismantle the entire left light assembly and check for bulbs that are blackened but still working. Change them. Next, dismantle all bulbs and check for corroded contacts. Also check the power connectors. If you see one of pins is melted then you can try to repair it, or in worst case,you have to replace the entire thing. Mine was partially melted but my dad managed to revive it. This melted pin is a sign of internal overheating in the signal circuit. To be on the safe side, install another ground for the entire light assembly. I followed this:- [url]http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=533309[/url]. The melted pin in the picture was exactly like mine. This is a recognised weak point in the E46 signal system. For the whole nine yards of the issue see here:- [url]http://www.bimmerfest.com/wiki/index.php?title=BMW_E46#Does_your_car_think_you_have_a_tail_light_out_when_you_have_no_burned_out_bulbs.3F[/url] Salut [/QUOTE]
