    2004 M3 interior lights problem

    My 2004 M3 interior lights are turning on and off intermittently only at night while driving (not during the day). Therefore, I don't believe it's a faulty open door sensors.
    Anyone having this problem? If so, have you found an answer?
    Thank you in advance

    After having a look at the wiring diagrams, almost all of them go thru the General Module. There is one input from the Light Control Module, which goes to the center lights, which I will assume is the amber lamps that come on when you turn the headlights on.

    So while I have heard of other quirky things happening with the GM-5, this will be the first I have heard about the interior lights. To help you with your question, this is the expert on that module: www.bmwgm5.com
