Midway on a run out this morning hazard warning lights randomly came in. Switch was in off position. Pushed switch in / out, initially they stayed on then all back to normal after about 8 cycles of the switch. Every couple of minutes this happened again, exactly the same. Didn’t seem to be any trigger (I was on a smooth road, for once!). One time they went back to normal when I used the indicators.

Parked up for a while and all normal on the way home.

Could this be the relay on the way out, bad earth (which one), something else? I’ve got a 97 chimaera.

Thanks in advance.
Andrew

So all seemed fine again when I was out and about today and couldn’t get the fault to reappear. I’m thinking that the alarm must have got out of sync (car had been sitting for almost a couple of weeks with the door not 100% closed for my trickle charger and I’d probably pressed the fob button a few times with it like that).

It does mean that my alarm sounder isn’t working - confirmed that today but didn’t have time to look into it today. It’s got a new meta 5 in it so hopefully easy to sort out. Time to take dash off to check connections.

Thanks for your help.
