E30 INDICATOR TROUBLE

[Tappets]

Hello,

I own a 1988 318i and I'm having a common problem occur.

The other month the indicators and hazers stopped working. I checked the fuse box and sure enough they were both blown.

I took it to my mechanic and he said it was to do with the glovebox light. He then fixed it.

2 months later the same problem has occurred and it would really be helpful if someone could possibly educate me on the problem so I can attempt to fix it.

thank you in advance.

Glove box light is commonly responsible for the indicator fuse blowing, but cannot blow the hazard light fuse.
If both are blown, then I'd check out the wiring to the front indicators, where it goes down over the chassis rails behind the front panel. These wires are often damaged in a front end impact, which most E30s will have experienced by now.
