    turn signal switch?

    Hello, I have an 85 325e that has been having problems with the left turn signal lately. I've already checked the bulbs and grounds, they're fine. I was hoping to find something was off there, but it really doesn't seem like it. When turned on, the switch just clicks really rapidly, almost sounding like something is not catching. Would that in fact be the switch? Is that a fairly easy fix? I haven't really tried to open it up and look in there yet.

    Thanks

    Pull the steering wheel out and see what is the problem, maybe that little plastic piece for turn signal is not contacting?

    When pulling steering wheel out, make sure you turn your ignition.

      Try bending the contacts of the front left turn signal outward so they make good contact with the bulb. Turn the switch on and observe. Jiggle the bulb around while the switch is on and see if it fixes the problem.
