There's a special prize for whoever has the answer..

Intermittently when I start my '95 E36 the emergency flashers flash (or both turn signals at the same time), BUT I check the flasher button and it's not pushed it. I know because the flasher icon in the middle of the button is not lit up. I have to push the flasher button in and then push it again to make it come back out and then the flasher stop.

thanks.
