    Right side turn & hazard lights don't work. Please help!

    Right side, both turn and hazard lights don't work on my 95 318ti. Fuses are good and left side works fine. Can any one help me to solve this?

    I'd use my multi-tester to find 12v (or not find it) where it should be. Also, I found some oxidation on a fuse and fuse-seat that was interfering with signals. So I pulled all my fuses (one at a time of course), scraped the fuse prongs, and used a thin fingernail file in each fuse-seat.

    All Turn Signal and Hazard commands go through the Hazard Relay. You are describing a problem that is internal to the hazard relay. IF the turn signal stalk feels odd on one side, then you could have trouble there. I would discount the turn signal stalk because the hazards should work without regard to the position of the turn signal stalk.

    You said, "right side both..." "Both" as in front and rear, or "both" as in turn and hazard?

    As I read the schematics, the Combo Sw., Pin 6, puts power on the Hazard Relay, Pin 7, to operate the right side turn lamps. F23 (5A) is the fuse to the lamps, the left and right side lamps use the same fuse. F34 (15A) is the fuse to the Hazard Relay control. (This schematic does a black box description when it comes to the hazard relay internals. F23 puts power to the combo switch, but the schematic does not show how this power goes through the hazard relay.) The relay has a pair of coils that close a set of contacts for the left side light (Pin 4), and another coil for the right side contacts (Pin 5). The Hazard Relay does the click thing to make the lights blink, and you can be having an open on the coil for one side of the car, but not the other side. The left side and right side turn indicators are powered by Pin 4 & Pin 5, there is a hazard indicator that is powered by Pin 3.

    If you have no turn signals, then the Combo Sw. is the place to start, but if no turn signals and no hazard lights, then my money is on the hazard relay.
