| Right rear brake light failure indicator on dash board turned on. inspecting the light bulbs, all seemed to be in working condition. fuses were also good. found the ground wire pin and socket on the bulb holder burned out pretty severely. problem appears to be intermittent as the indicator would turn on and off before eventually staying on permanently. also, indicator would show turn signal failure at first, then brake light, then right back up light, then all three. eventually it settled in on brake light only. potential for accidents related to turn signals not working and warning other drivers of braking and/or turning. also potential for an electrical fire beginning in the rear of the vehicle close to where the fuel filler cap is located. checking online forums for a repair, it appears to be a common problem, and the subject of an earlier recall on other bmw models. *tr | |||
