Hazard Woes

[GV]

Strange occurance - no indicators when the hazard buton is depressed and then I get indicators working ok but then no hazards. Any guesses? I've got a new relay and indicator switch too!!

Are there any diodes in the haz/indicator circuit? Are they in place and working OK?

I ask as I have used diodes in a wiring loom I designed for a Vixen. Good system, but bizarre things will happen if they fail.

I seem to remember "steering diodes" in the wedge wiring system. Cant remeber what system they pertain to...

I'll have a look - but I'm not sure that is the case.

Had the same problem with mine just as I was doing pre MOT checks, on the morning of the MOT which is a bit late and a good way to raise your blood pressure! Anyway, having taken everything apart including taking the switch out of the dashboard and clearing and reconnecting all terminals and flicking the switch several times everything worked fine!

I suspect the real issue was the internal workings of the hazard switch and a bit of movement of the switch brought it back to life, I would suspect a corroded/dirty internal contact! I think you can get some sort of spray lubricant that helps in such a situation!

I got the Granada type switch - I'll give that a blast with some WD or something similar

Ah! Mine is the TR7 Switch in the centre console!
