Should the indicator flash when hazards on?

Post by 300CE »

Just a quick question chaps/chapettes - should the green indicator light flash when i have the hazards on and is it an mot failure if not? Mine currently doesn't at the moment, however, the red light flashes on the hazard switch as it should.

The reason i ask, is that both indicator lights & hazard switch lights flash in the car?

Cheers in advance,

Justin.

Cheers chaps, doesn't sound like its gonna be too much of a problem which is a result. Didn't fancy stripping down the dash yet again (i reckon ive got it down to 2 minutes to full removal now!), although the high beam light seems to work when it wants so will need doing again soon!!
