picture of working hazzard switch wired up

hi i need a pic of one with all the wires on it as mine seems to have a wire missing from the large spade connector (solid green when you use the stalks) can anyone tell me where this wire goes too? thanks

Hi,

    pics below of working hazard switch, two looking at the connector from the top and one looking from the bottom. not quite sure which green wire you mean as you mention the stalks, if you let me know will take a look and try and resolve for you.

cheers, thats great! do you know what the blue and black wire does?

sorry not confident on that. perhaps someone else may know.

just put a volt meter on it and doesnt seem to be carrying a voltage when I switched on lights and the had the hazards on. Also its not insulated, ie unprotected spade. doesnt seem to be associated with the back lighting of the switch.

iirc from looking at mine last night, that wire should be an earth for the light in the switch. so the earth and live to the light are the wrong way round (or they were on mine.)

Apologies for hijacking an old thread, but this one has the perfect photos on it!

Had smoke coming from the dash yesterday which I traced to melting insulation wire by the spade connector on the blue & black wire of the hazard switch as shown in the photos above.

For safety I disconnected the blue & black wire at the spade connection. Funny thing is - everything still works!  When switched on, all four indicators flash and the so does the bulb inside the hazard switch and the green indicator led on the clocks.  

Only thing I'm not sure about is if the hazard switch should glow when the lights are on, like the fog light switch and the heated rear window switch?  Mine doesn't.

Does anyone know what the blue & black wire actually does?  

Thanks.

Might be a bit late for this information, but the blue/black wire is the ignition feed to the hazard switch which the indicators work from (comes from fuse 19).  So, the hazards will still work, but the indicators won't  - unless you've used the 'hazard-switch-to-mid-position-trick' which seems to be a favourite bodge to avoid changing a fuse!
