emergency flashers
 
The emergency flashers are flashing and I cannot turn them off. Yesterday the crash sensor relay was replaced but after 100 miles the flashers came back on. I pulled the fuse to stop flashers (I could do without emergency flashers) and now I have no turnsignals. My wife was driving onetime ,when the flashers came on by themselves. When she hit a bump in the road they stopped, leading me to think a relay,loose wire, or a bad connection. I spoke to my service tech about disconnecting battery. He didn't know how this would work but at this time I am willing to try anything. If this works what about the next time the flashers malfunction?

check the switch and fuse connection.

Maybe the flasher unit needs to be replaced

From the Common Faults FAQ:

Quote:

-On some E36’s, most notably the ’95 M3, a faulty circuit in the safety relay can activate the hazard flashers and unlock the doors while going over bumps in the road.

I am having this same thing happen. How would I check to see if there is a faulty circuit?
