Hazards not working

Post by Bigjcc55 »

As above, when I switch them on I get the green light on constant and nothing at the lamps, indicators work fine, tried switch and relay out my other van and still no joy, had a poke about the earth crowns behind the fuse box and there not corroded or damaged. I've been meaning to post this question for ages hoping I would find the fault myself, now the mot has run out I need to do something about it!

Got exactly the same issue! - ordered a new relay hoping it might just be that, but sounds like it could be something else if swapping yours over didn't fix it?

Got it sorted today, a missing fuse!! I compared the amount of fuses in the camper to how many were in the van, one missing the fuse next to the not used space.

Aha - will check mine tomorrow before replacing the relay, I have had them fall out/ get knocked out before. If it turns out to be that, at least I will have a spare flasher relay for the spares kit :)

Yep, missing fuse. Hazards now working again. I now have fuses in all the slots on the main fuse box. For some reason I thought there was one unused slot on mine, so missed it when I checked before. Found the fuse sulking in the glove box.

(we'll ignore the fact that the hazard switch is now dodgy because some idiot dismantled it to see what the condition was like inside)
