Very pleasant news this evening! The signals started working great! It
didn't take many flicks of the hazard switch to affect a change. What a
great feeling to have them working again for no money and no work! (my kind
of repair). Thanks for the reminder that operating the hazard switch can
affect

It'll grow red or green lumps on top. It'll also smell something bad, unlike
normal sour cream.

Red or green lumps! How Christmasy! (Johnny is making a joke... but,
really, there IS a difference, just like when yogurt goes bad [although
ironically the fact that it's already spoiled in a sense DOES make it last
longer].)

Yes! That seems a very reasonable solution! What gets me is that in my Saab,
the ignition is down there. Yeah it's nice to be different, but the junk
that can fall into there... The kicker is that my dealer-installed sunroof
drips slightly and guess where it drips down into?

Ah! yes, its up on the cluster. Surprising the things that I forget. Maybe
it's all this college-knowledge I'm trying to cram into my brain. Actually
it's that I'm keeping so busy with other things that I haven't really
gotten to know my new 240D yet.
I'll try turning the dimmer and hoping. Is

Two screws, once you have the cluster out. And that's not
usually too hard either.

I also should ask: The turn signals, which my bro. got to work for me by (I
think) removing and cleaning, or just messing with, that little box located
near the shifter - well, they're not working anymore. Incidentally the dash
lights are also out. I changed the fuse - no help. I have unplugged

Huh. Too bad these things are so cranky. That's not very nice.
I went
I went out this a.m. and hit the hazards, and got some reaction - they
work normally, and if I hit the right side turn sigs. while the
hazards are on, they work (the left stop blinking when I do this in
other words).
Huh? When the hazards are on the turn signal lever should
be inoperative.
Yeah, that seems funny to me too, but it happened. So you're saying that the
hazards operating is essentially the hazard switch telling it to run both
turn signals at once? And when this happens, the input from the turn sigs.
is negated, or has no effect? Not trying to make things difficult, just
Try turning the hazard switch on and off 30-50 times! The dimmer for the
dash lights is on the cluster just below the gauges on the right side I
think. If not then it's the one on the left side.

It's the one (on the left) that makes the nasty scrapey/scratchey
