BMW Hazard Warning Switch - Genuine BMW 61311356197

Product Information

A hazard warning switch is the control button (often a red triangle symbol) that activates a vehicle’s hazard lights. When pressed, it engages all turn signal lights to flash simultaneously, warning other drivers of a breakdown, accident, or roadside emergency. The switch connects directly to the vehicle’s flasher relay and electrical system.

• Hazard lights not working at all when the switch is pressed.
• Intermittent or stuck operation, where the lights stay on or won’t activate properly.
• No clicking sound or relay engagement, indicating an electrical fault or worn-out switch.

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
