Hi all. Wondering if anyone can help me.
Have got problems with my lights when I turn the ignition on. Warnings are:
-Reversing light left failure
-Turn indicator front left failure
-Fog light rear right failure
-brake light left failure
-number plate light right failure
-fog light front left failure
-side/daytime lights on left faulty
-turn indicator rear righ failure

All in all not great news! I checked the cables in the boot hinge as per other threads and found several broken and bared cables in the right hinge that I have repaired but the problems remain.
Took it to a local garage and they said they couldn't help as there was a lighting control unit error code they could not interpret.

Bmw5 series touring e61 58 plate.

Any other ideas?

Many thanks

I would systematically try to eliminate each of the errors.

First, the light bulbs on the front:
-side/daytime lights on left faulty
-Turn indicator front left failure
-fog light front left failure
Try to eliminate connection to the light bulb and the light bulb itself.


Secondly, the back failures:
-brake light left failure
-turn indicator rear righ failure
Here as well try to eliminate the light bulbs.


Finally, the back lights located in the boot lid:
-Reversing light left failure
-Fog light rear right failure
-number plate light right failure
Here as well try to eliminate the light bulbs. Now here also the wiring harness can be a potential problem (i.e. wire cut).

Looking at this all, it can also be the LM (light module) since lots of errors are of light module nature. How about other lights do they work?, perhaps partially broken Light Module. Personally, I would put my bet on the light module. How all this happened? Did you do something related to lighting?
