Re: <E36> Interior Lights Posessed

["Bryan Davis" <rbdavis@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had this very problem on my 1995 E36 M3.  Interior lights would flicker on
and off at random.  Periodically, the lights would stay on and never turn
off even if all of the doors were shut and locked.

I took it to my local dealer and it turned out to be faulty electronic door
sensor.  The sensor is located inside the door.  My warrantee covered it so
I don't know how much the part or the repair costs.
