3 times flash signal not working

afong · 11-17-2010, 11:35 AM

Anyone had this happen before? My turn signal doesn't flash 3 times anymore starting this morning, it happen awhile ago but works fine after re-starting the car but not this morning.

Weird things happen starting last night, the seat and mirror re-set to different position after parking and the seat memory doesn't remember the position I set it before. Then this morning the turn signal doesn't flash 3 times anymore and I try to shut off the engine few times and still doesn't work.

Any idea?

Thank-you.

Do you have idrive? If so, the setting might be shutoff.

Just change the settings again on the dash. What probably happened is that you started using a different key fob and different settings were applied.

1 sounds like you used the other fob with different settings

Yes, I have i-drive but I use the same key only since day 1.

The car was parked for 3 weeks while I was away and back yesterday morning start driving it and weird things happen last night.

Thanks for all your help, I will look into the i-drive later while lunch hour.

If it was parked for 3 weeks without a trickle charger your battery may be going...

You're suppose to disconnect the battery during long periods like this. Just don't disconnect the battery without s way to get back in! Lol I wonder if that guy ever got his car started?

Are you in the right car? :>)

afong · 11-17-2010, 12:25 PM

Problem fixed. Just don't understand why everything re-set it by itself even welcome lights and all other things re-set back to default?

Is it because the car parked for 3 weeks ?

Perhaps the battery in your key fob was low from not being used for 3 wks? Once you inserted it in the slot it would have gotten recharged. Then again, I stored my car for the winter and never had an issue

Hmmm, what parties had his key fob been to during that three weeks?

No where, the car was locked and key was home during the three weeks without anyone touching.
