Left turn signal and Daytime/Parking lamp malfunction

Morning all!

Started the day with this error, drivers side blinker does not work (blinker sound is very quick, rear taillight as well as side fender light blink quickly) BUT when signaling right, both front blinkers turn on as if I put the hazards on.

Halo rings are working fine, did not test normal driving lights as I forgot to check but how many bulbs can the cornering lights have? I assume it should be just one that operates for both turning and hazards no?

Does it give you the option to reset it? I just got the seat calibration message and I'm wondering if it has to do with putting the carpets back?

Well... I went back outside to see and the errors are gone. Everything works as it should. . I will cancel my BMW appointment for now and if it comes up again I will take it in, chalking it up to an electrical gremlin for now.

I am sure you Googled it but check out this thread about seat calibration, looks like moving the seat front/back etc might solve your issue.. http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=612600

I had a similar error (same turn signal problems, plus adaptive headlights on my case) on my 2012 550i. It happened to me every time I started the car one night, and I realized that I hadn't booked my car up to my battery tender in a few weeks (the ctek version of the official BMW one). I had an appointment a few days later for an oil change at the dealer do I figured I'd bring it up. Lo and behold the error went away. At the dealer they said I showed several high battery discharge codes in the past but nothing currently. The issue has not returned now that I've been more diligent at hooking it up to the ctek if I have a few days of short drives.

I read the N63 is notorious for battery issues so that's why I bought the ctek. It also seems to help with my wife's Mazda CX-5 which I think has the same charging behavior as the BMW efficient dynamic crap. Her car idles roughly sometimes if it goes for a few weeks without topping up.

My Adaptive Headlight Malfunction is on...left turn signal malfunction, daytime/parking lamp malfunction, headlamp vertical aim control malfunction. Was in shop for hail damage, dent removal. When I picked up car and started it the Adaptive Headlight Malfunction was on dash. I told them was not like this prior. They took to a self service high pressure wand car wash and they put too much water and pressure on left side which is why all the issues. I tried to replacing the headlight that was out twice with H7 SyLvania and it still isn't working. I have had errors before...2 low beams out and 1 high beam and I replaced myself and all was great a year ago. My major delima is I cant locate or get to the left blinker to replace it. BEFORE I did anything I dried everything completely and it sat in the sun for a solid week. There are no signs of any water, moisture anywhere. I don't understand why 3 issues popped up like this. Could my settings be messed up? They also took it to have a new windshield installed which they calibrated it. 61 Female very frustrated. Oh, and I wanted which out to my new LED headlights but can't until this is cleared up. Secondly, the darn LED plug does not match up to my headlight plug, uggggh

You need a new headlight module. Even though it's all dried up the damage is already done. I'm pretty sure the water caused corrosion on the headlight module. You can access it from behind the light in the wheel well.

I have the same issue. Just purchased a new module from ebay. Replaced it and everything, but errors still appear on dashboard, no change. The only reason would be coding. Do not know where to start. I'm brand new to this so would appreciate all the hand-holding I could get. Please help

I believe you need ISTA/P

Expect a shop to charge to $100-150

High pressure washer getting inside the headlights/module? Does anyone know if that means you can't really use a high pressure hose at the car wash to wash the car down and wash off bugs/major dirt after a long drive? That seems pretty bad.

Hi all. I’ve got the same problem as in the original post. Left turn signal malfunction. Fast blinking left turn signal with no front Turn indicator working but both front flash when I turn my right hand signal on just like hazards. Was there ever a resolution or anyone else experienced.

PS I have also changed both TMS modules and attempted to re initialization in ISTA+

Hate to revive an old thread but the "Left turn signal and Daytime/Parking lamp malfunction" comes and goes on my 12 528i. Very sporadic, I can clear it and it'll eventually come back, all lights and markers work up until the error then hyper flash until I turn car off and restart. With lights and markers working would this be a module? and if so would ne1 know a part number and re initialize procedure? I have some software.. Thanks,

Did you check the blinker fluid?
