lol dont know how someone can knock your hazzard switch lol :lol:

but yes sounds like the switch has broke , either replace it or take in apart and remove the springs , but then it will work other way round as in pull for on and push for off i think :lol:

all u do is need the new hazard switch then ??? if u got 3 spare ill buy one of u then ??? how much ?

Take the switch out.
Take it apart (abit fiddly)
and take the springs out.

Then put it back together, put it back in the car.

You then pull it out to switch it on, and push it in to switch it off.

Thats what the "unbreakable" switch is that they sell on ebay etc.
It wont break again, and passes MOT etc which a broken switch wont do :)

You have to lever the inside of the switch out of the outer casing.
