[telski789]

hi,driving this week has been a nightmare as when i indicate right i just get a buzzing noise,left is ok,just right is the problem. so i changed the relay next to the switch and still the same,the relay was buzzing on right,so i put a whole new stalk in (new to me anyway!) and STILL the buzzing continues? it also buzzes when i turn the hazards on,any ideas??? got me confused!!

cheers

Most indicator problems are caused by the hazard light switch.

Further to above, do you have an alarm, especially aftermarket one, that flashes the indicators.
If you have, try disconnecting it and see if that makes a difference.

You may want to check the indicator stalk. sometimes the contacts inside corrode and cause the relay to buzz.

cleaning up the contacts may solve the problem.

hi
you might also wanna check the flasher unit. my '87 325i had the same problem. replaced the unit and problem solved.

ive tried two stalks and loads of flasher relays,is the relay what you are calling the flasher unit? or is that different??

If it affects one side differently from the other, it's nothing to do with the flasher unit/"relay".
If it also affects the hazard switch then it's nothing to do with the stalk.
All you are doing by changeing these things needlessly is making the posibility of multiple or future faults.
You haven't said what the six indicator and two warning lights are doing, or answered my question re an alarm.
