Turn Signal- unreliable

[mcfee03]

My left turn signal has become very unreliable.

The "Check Tail Lights" comes up on my dash say 70% of the time I start my X5.

The turn signal clicking gets very quick (left only).

• 60% of the time, neither the front or back turn signal works
  
• 30% of the time, the back turn signal stops.
  
• 10% of the time they all work.
  
• 100% of the time ths side turn signal light works.

I tried replacing the bulb (front) and just touching/moving the bulb slightly got it working temporarily. Then next time I started the car, it stopped

Is this a known issue with the E53? What steps can be taken to fix it?


FWIW, I have a left hand side (Right hand driver side car).
