if the hazzards are ok then pull the switch out and check the connections

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)

i replaced one switch for another one that i was given but neither of them flash on the switch.
