hazard light won't turn off

Post by pihlen »

hi,
my hazard light blinkers cannot be turned off. the button won´t stay in "deactivated" position. there is only one veeery tricky position to find that makes it stop (feels like you´re hanging up the button on a tiny edge somewhere inside the housing). by tiniest movement this falls off that position and the button falls to activated mode. is there any way to fix this button? i´ve heard there are some spring(s) inside which will fly all over the place if you disassemble it? any tips on how to fix this?

thanks!!
