Hazard lights

[Nathan]

It's the dreaded MOT time and my hazard lights have packed in ( amongst other things!) the indicator on the dash lights up but nothing else!
Any ideas on where to start would be appreciated, cheers guys.

I am guessing that the normal indicators work, which shows the wiring to the bulbs and the bulbs themselves are OK, so, I would probably look at, in order:

• Earth Point behind dash (Clean it up - I have not got a wiring diagram in-front of me so I could not tell you where it is)
• Switch (clean the contacts at the back, rock it a few times)
• Replace Hazard Relay
• Replace Switch

Hi
According to my MOT guy hazard warning lights on classic vehicles are not required if you don't have the dash switch.
I popped my switch behind the dash and covered the hole for the MOT and passed fine.
This has been the case at 2 different MOT test stations now.

So don't sweat the issue, just hide the switch and sort it later.
Cheers

Yep!

I'll get it hidden then, cheers all.

I had the same problem, new relay sorted it.

Didn't know I could just hide the switch but feel glad it's working!
