Fast flashing indicators and loads of light errors

My 320 has fast flashing indicators then the fog light sign came up on the dash and the error on the nav screen, couple days later the light bulb sign came up aswell and its saying to change loads of bulbs on the nav screen but from what i can see they all work although the high beam light doesnt come on but works if i pull the left stick back to flash someone. Havnt had it long. Any ideas?

My guess would be a on the way out battery or on the way out FRM module buddy. FRM controls the lights, which could explain the issue, but a dodgy battery can do all sorts of stuff with the electrics as well

Ok thanks mate. Also when i push the right fog light button it hardly ever illuminates on the dash but the left side always lights up on the dash.

Sometimes the bulbs don't work due to corroded bulb contacts. The higher resistance will trigger the FRM to think the bulb has failed. I had this happen on a rear light.

The trouble is from what i can see all the lights are working but the fog light does not illuminate on the dash. Do you think my frm has gone? Its telling me to change loads of bulbs and my indicators flash really fast but hazards flash normal.

My guess is you have a bulb that's about to go. I was getting rear bulb errors on my e90 but everything was working fine. I then did a blanket replacement of all bulbs and the error went.

Hi,

E90 318i i have indicator issues - hazard lights flash at correct speed but indicators flash 120 times per min, could this be a control module as the car says faulty bulbs

Few years back i had my 320d e92 started getting the quick flashing indicators i asked multiple friends who work in BMW etc all lead me to believe FRM i checked all my bulbs all were working but 2 years later one of my brake lights went once i changed it all fixed after 2 years i found it strange that my indicators were working normal. Sometimes the bulb may work but is sending a short through the circuit my advise change all your bulbs shouldn't cost much and see if that fixes issue
