Re: hazard light switch
if the hazzards are ok then pull the switch out and check the connections
AGG 2.0L 8V. (Golf GTi MkIII)
Re: hazard light switch
if your indicator lamp flashes with the hazzards , ignition on or off then no problem.
there are 2 types of hazzard switch , early and late!
its possible the only difference is the lamp is always illuminated slightly on older vans , cant remember for certain tho.
theres more connections and a resistor on the later type.
have you changed your switch recently?
also pre april 86 vehicles do not require a hazzard warning device so you can remove/ hide the switch to pass an mot ( although due to the simplicity of the system you may as well fix it)
