Indicators working!! Hazards not

Had to try the new switch I got from Richard this week

The indicators now work  :cheer:

But the hazards don't  :(   think it's where I opened the switch up to get the clips in on the sides and one of the metal sliders inside moved a little

going to get cracking on it this weekend so if all goes well will be ready for an MOT in the next week or so


Thanks to Richard for helping out with parts once again!  :y: Top bloke

If the indicators work and the hazards don't, it's a switch problem.
Could just be dirty or mis-aligned contacts though. I know I have to really press the switch hard sometimes for them to work properly.

:y: Wicked! thought it might be so I'll take it apart again and have a little tinker with it!

I shouldn't have taken it apart to put the clips in really!

If it isn't the switch it could very well be the flasher unit - hazards usually use a different flasher to indicators as the load is obviously much greater (4 bulbs instead of two) although sometimes when the flasher fails, you end up with indictors that stay illuminated all the time.

all sorted, one of the metal sliders was slightly in the wrong position

Getting there now! Cheers for the help (I'm sure more help is needed though :wink: )
