Hazards lights don't flash

Post by Boumsong »

Wooo, got it in for test next week and I'm struggling to fathom this one.

Indicators work fine, left and right. Hit the hazard button and they come on and stay on, no flashing or ticking. I've checked a few earths and things but I don't really know what I'm looking for..Any ideas?

It sounds like it could be something wrong with the relay. IIRC hazard and indies are on different relay circuits, but not having me workshop manual to hand I can't check.

Cheers for the input guys, turns out when I changed the fuse first time round the one I put in was to lower amp and had just blown again. New fuse, problem sorted!
