Electrical problem
2002 BMW X5 6 cyl

My turn signal evidently has a short in the wiring. I need to know how to find the wiring and to check the bulb.

Why is it evident? What is the issue? Is it a front or rear light that is not working?

I fixed it by taking out the headlamp and the bulb and replacing it. Thanks.

Thanks for the repost, did you also inspect the bulb holder? Often when the bulb is shot it also takes the bulb holder with it.
