Hazard Lights Continually Flashing

Post by JokerCooper »

Guys,

Ive got an issue with my hazard lights continually flashing and not stopping.

The only way to stop them flashing is to disconnect the battery.

Any advise please?

Thanks
David.

Probably the hazard switch itself, which won't engage the "off" stand anymore, its a known issue with the hazzard switch, they go faulty due heat in the car, a plastic retainer clip inside the switch bends due the heat and can't hold the switch in the off stand anymore.
