Electrical problem
1998 BMW 740 V8

I was driving today listening to my radio... All over a sudden my radio shut down and my blinkers indicators on the dash board died. They are working but without indication and clicking sound inside ( no green errors )

So, only radio block does not work, turns indication on the dash b. and test button on the d. board. Probably they have common electronic block ? Do not have any other electrical problems.
Fuses look good. However, i saw one change when i was changing gear from D to R while parking, time line appeared on the screen with no time just lines --:--. I tried to push ON button - did not work...

My car is BMW 740, but I guess it could happen with any car.
Thanks to everybody.

The radio and signals are on a bus system and something happened to the bus, maybe its the radio shorting out, try removing the radio and see if the other systems work then.
