Complete lack of hazard warning lights switch...

[DonnaLudlow]

I had my Geep towed today to its new home, but when it came to looking for the hazard lights switch I couldn't find one!

Which leads to the question... do I really need them? What shall I do in the event of an accident (god forbid)?

there used to be hazard light kits available for cars without them, but these are no longer as all modern cars have warning lights, you might find someone on ebay who has one of these kits though.
you can if your awares of auto electrics make your own, the early 90's mini has a simple hazard system and can be easily adapted to the jago, if you have some knowledge of auto electrics that is, however you do not legally need hazards if your car is over a certain age, and i think yours will be, especially if its passed the mot recently.
if you need something to warn drivers of a hazard, and dont want to spend, then you could get a cigarette lighter plug in strobe, if you've a cig lighter that is.

Cigarette lighter socket? Whatever willxthey think of next?!!!!!

...but what else do you plug the solar battery charger into???

Oh and the phone charger when actually using the car, and the airbed inflater pump when you're at a kit car camping weekend.

[Trextr7monkey]

Air bed? Well I'll be blowed

[drpepper]

i use all of those, the solar charger can even be used to recharge your mobile, if you'd want to that is.
cig lighters are not allowed on boats - fire risk, thats why i've a load of adaptors (from marine 12v to cig lighter) as i use the same stuff on the boat as well as camping.

*BUMP*

Dont know if your still after a hazard light as my own Jago had the same problem, no hazard light could be found anywhere.

I came across this and thought it may be very usefull, i will post up the result of getting this looked at by my local MOT station.

just a question,do you not have a connector block on your loom for the hazard switch,i replaced my loom and both looms had the block , both looms were mk 2. but different years.

*UPDATE*Ive found mine under the steering colum !

It lookd like the block or maybe its the switch, my thoughts are that the pprevious owner couldnt fit it on the new dash they had made and just left it daggling like that ?

Im gonna have a tootle and tinker this Sunday.
