My turn signal switch does not shut off so I am guessing the little catch is broken. I have the OBC remote but don’t really care one way or the other. Will a non OBC remote switch fit and work?
I am replacing the broken gears for the odometer and plan to check my SI board. I get the service indicator light when I start the car, so I am guessing the board is still OK. I plan to replace the batteries as a preventative measure, any suggestions for replacements now that RS is a distant memory?

Re: Turn signal indicator and SI board
Pulled the dash to fix the busted odometer. As an engineering nerd, I enjoyed observing the engineering while as the son of a mechanic cursed the engineer who decided to go with plastic instead of brass; probably a bean counter decision.
As a plus, discovered the previous owner put in a Programma SI board so the cash for that I saved went to a Miller MAF and chip.
Still trying to figure out what the turn signal doesn’t reset even thought the reset nib is intact and works fine when I tested it with the steering wheel off.
Also discovered I have a limited slip differential and sport seats.
Trying to decide if I want to replace the working auto with a manual.As someone who feels only real Bimmers have manual (not just round taillights) my gut says yes, as someone who drives around town a lot, my sensible side say, source the parts, hide them in storage until the auto dies.

Re: Turn signal indicator and SI board
Jlc, I don't have any input for you, but I'm going to move your thread to the "Interior" forum, seems that it would be more appropriate there
Good luck getting things sorted

Re: Turn signal indicator and SI board
Hey folks - just doing some research for myself.
I'm new to E24 ownership and my SI lights do not light up - but I'm not sure if that is because they were reset when I bought the car...or if the batteries have gone (which I suspect is likely).
Can you confirm that the SI lights come on when starting the car, regardless of the last time they were reset?
