Could you elaborate? I don't really see what you are saying...

like ill move the switch up the light will work for a sec then they go out but sometime if i switch the high beams on and off quickly they low beams will come back on

Look up LKM repair and Mustard relay repair

A soldering iron and a roll of flux core solder fixes most of the light problems on the early E32

$5 worth of capacitors and the same soldering iron fix most instrument cluster problems too.

Yeah Ive already resolderd the mustard relay any others that could cause probs that I should redo like I also have a prob with the hazard light going off on there own I thought I fixed it but it didnt happen that way.

I live to answer technical questions on older big Bimmers. About 4 forums worth

Sticky hazard light switch is most likely cause of random actuation. It is in the finest possible location to collect spilled drinks if I recollect correctly. Sticks partway down.

If that switch is ok, I would suspect the CCM crash control module next.

those modules are they the little orange things on the top end of the fender

**TerryY** · 04-29-2007, 09:24 PM

Orange module are usually related to the air bags.

The crash control module is located under the rear seat but separate from the power distribution panel.

what is the year of your car?
It could be the control module under the hood that is the problem with your head lights?

Now I Just Need A Printer Ahahahaaaa......

well how can u tell if its the CCM for the hazzards and the LKM for the head lights. Cause the CCM I pop the top off I grounded myself first but it got this orange stuff all over it but it look ok so i think its the switch that needs to be cleaned up. Now the LKM how do u check it and how do u take it out.

Are fuses F2 F3 F6 and F7 good?

**NewBIMMERfan85** · 05-01-2007, 05:58 PM

i think i found the prob its one of the wire to the bulb connector it seem to have a break in it so im gonna cut and strip it and reconnect it

**NewBIMMERfan85** · 05-01-2007, 06:36 PM

NVM I guess it the LKM cause all the fuses are good but that one light wont come on I havent had any trouble with the hazards so i guess thats it.
