Hi everyone! Just joined this forum today and I'm hoping someone can help a first time BMW owner!
The car is an X1 Xdrive Xline E84 model. I noticed recently that when unlocking/locking, the rear passenger side indicator didn't flash. On closer inspection, the passenger side wing mirror repeater doesn't work either, but the front passenger side does! No problem I thought, just needs a replacement bulb....not so...I removed the tail light bulbs and checked them all and they are all fine. no corrosion, no melted connectors, everything good. Tried the hazard lights...same result, the rear passenger and passenger wing mirror indicator don't flash. The computer does not report a faulty bulb and there are no warnings when I use the check function or when I plug in an OBDII reader. The repeaters on the dash work normally and do not flash at a faster rate when indicating left, which it should do if the bulb has failed.
In summary:
- All bulbs tseted good using a multimeter
- Car does not report a fault
- Front indicator and dash repeaters flash at the normal rate
Anybody experience this problem before?
Please be kind, it's my first post!
Best regards
Steve
