In that case it's probably the hazard switch itself.
If this isn't the case check for power on the red/white wire at pin 3 of the switch with a 12V bulb, NOT a meter.
Next suspect is cowboy alarm fitters'. They often home in on this wire as a constant live power source for the alarm.

You don't need to! Just take it out, open it up (keep the buttons pointing upwards when you slide it apart), clean it, treat it to a little silicon grease, snap it back together, and put it back into the car.Hath wrote:im not paying £35 form bmw for a stupid switch..!!
Very rare to have to bin a BMW switch - only when a contact has been arcing badly and burnt away.
Have you checked for power on the red/white wire?
