Side repeaters on E46 M3

[Jonboy_t]

I have a repetitive problem on my M3, when I first start up, the front offside warning light comes up on the dash to indicate that there is an issue with one of the bulbs on that cluster. When this is on, the right indicator (with the exception of the rear) doesn't work, but when I hit a small pothole/bump in the road and they all start working again.

I had a quick look at it this weekend and can see no obvious wiring issues at the front (although I am far from being a mechanic!) but did notice that the side repeater was actually working, albeit it was actually hanging down inside the front wing! I have 2 questions around this if anyone has any experice/could offer advice;

1) How difficult is it to get at the side repeater to reconnect what looks to be a broken clip. If I can fix it, it should then hold the bulb directly behind the visible side repeater cover instead of it hanging loosely inside the wing.

2) Would this side repeater issue stop the front indicator working (i.e. are they on the same loom adn the front isn't working because the side isn't where it should be)? I only ask as this could well be two problems coincidentally coming at the same time....

Apologies for the long thread! I've tried to be as clear as possible so I hope it makes sense!!

Easy as pie to replace, and cheap as chips to buy. Go and have some pie and chips!!!
