real hazard

[TomWilly]

help me please!

My hazard lights kept goin on when i pressed the button on an off so i took it out and took it apart an took out the springs, but now wen i put it back in nothin happens, not even my indicators?

i think it may be the little metal bits inside the switch?

[Jack]

Yep, this happened the mine... the metal contacts bent inside. You can try bending them around slightly, or just go buy a new one :wink:

[DirtyDave]

you've fcuked it then, best either go to vauxhall and get a new one 20-25 quid or a breakers yard, but everyone is after them coz they break so easily.

[chapers]

mines done something like that but the hazards are working but not the indicators :? :?

That sounds like it could be a problem with the wiring from the indicator stalk, or the indicator switch itself?

[Nick]

go and find a nova at a breakers.

Get these bits.

MK2 Hazard Switch
MK2 Ash tray (centre console thingy)
Fan switch + bulb
Glovebox

they're pretty much all the things that will break commonly IMO

hang on a sec,

you lot reckon a hazard switch is worth ?20-?25?????


I just cut mine up for something a little special that I'm working on.


A*rse

mine works when you pull it out and THEN indicate either left or right

i dunno who invented that bloody switch but they need to be dragged into the street and shot.....

You'd have to use a fair bit of force to break the ash tray and glovebox wouldn't you?!?

Actually... get all those bits from a scrapyard anyway. You can then sell them on ebay for ???profit, as Mk2 dash bits are always in demand.

Matt, thats how much Vauxhall charge for a replacement switch. My dad went and bought one for me the other day when I could have got one off ebay for a fiver :roll:

[chapers]

these hazard switches are starting to get on my tats cos ive gone through 3 of them now!!! :evil: i repair them when they break but they keep breaking and i end up destroying them!! :twisted:

it really confused me with the indicators :? , because 1 minute they were working and the next they werent... ive checked most things, AND i went and broke my ignition cylinder when i took it out to get a look at the switch itself! luckily i have another one :roll:

shooting the 'German' tosser that made switch is a very good idea :lol:

[rikih]

hazard switch from vauxhall does cost like 20 quid!
my mate worked out though which terminals you can use with actually using a hazard switch, ill find out for you. so in other words you dont need a switch just a small peice of wire and some connectors

[mikey14sr]

easy way to fix? put a mk1 dash in!!!!!!!!!!!!

[te17@novasgonemad]

ive got 8 of these little things:) and once they break i open them and fix them there good for another year or so untill they break again

ive got 12 of those vw wiper relays if anyone wants one pm me
