Left rear turn signal malfunction - 2009 pre-lci
I have searched this for about an hour but all the issues seem to be with LED tail lights. I do not have LED tail lights
I am getting a left rear turn signal malfunction message every time I use the left turn signal. On occasion the error will go off and come back on after a blink or two and sometimes when it is really cold out I won't get the error for a few uses of the turn signal. I have replaced the bulb and the off-white colored bulb housing unit and neither has fixed the error message or the turn signal malfunction. Could it be a fuse? a relay? wiring harness? what else can I check? I have switched the right and left and the problem did not chase the bulb, it stayed on the left side. |

I had a few issues with my blinkers, and the battery recall seemed to have fixed the issue. Scan the vehicle with ISTA to see what it’s complaining about. I’m interested in knowing if the FRM has faults in it. |

I replaced that part and it didn't fix it so I don't think that's the issue. |

Is an ISTA scanner just and OBD2 scanner? I don't know if the battery recall has been done. I didn't do it but it may have been done prior to me buying it.

ISTA is what bmw uses to diagnose at the dealership. And no. A regular scan tool will not work in this case. You can get it on eBay. (There’s quite a learning curve to learn the basics, and to get it running properly and syncd to the vehicle) Sometimes all it takes is performing a test on ISTA, and clearing the codes to get everything working correctly. |

I'm assuming if they are available on eBay a BMW specialists shop would have the tool? |
