Hi all .. My to do list.... is the hazard warning light switch . When I push the switch to operate the flashers the switch needs a couple off
pushes to operate .. So has any body took this flasher switch to bits then cleaned the contacts : I am sure there are new ones to be had
but this is more fun .. Cheers

Re: Hazard warning switch
New ones aren't available, so if it is broken, you may aswell try to fix it ! They're fiddly inside, I'd try some non invasive contact cleaning spray first and just douse it, before taking it apart. My headlight switch exploded into a hundred pieces when I opened that up. Woops!

Re: Hazard warning switch
Ok I may need you as a back up plan B ... I have contact spray but the urge to take the switch is nagging at me

Re: Hazard warning switch
Easy to do, just make sure the spring doesn't fly off onto the carpet monster, usually just needs the hardened grease removing and a fibreglass pencil clean up of the contacts.
