Description of the problem	2002 bmw 325i, turn signal failure resulting in small fire. 1- symptoms: car turn signal failure warning light illuminated. 2- upon removal of housing i noted that the light operated intermittently which caused me to investigate further. Upon removal of the plug or wiring harness i noted that the brown wire showed evidence of melting of both wire and metal male plug end with black residue. A simple internet search revealed that bmw issued sib number 63 03 06 to mechanics. I have not found a recall for this hazardous failure, however, did find a forum where several owners noted the same failure. Internet address to this forum is: http://www. Aboutautomobile. Com/complaint/2002/bmw/325i/exterior+lighting 3- i have not corrected the failure but plan on investigating the procedure to replace the harness. Per the information i found i have noted that it seems that a faulty ground wire is the source of the problem. Believe that bmw should be responsible for repairing potentially hazardous faults.
