thebishbus Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Hi Baz. Do you mean the negative lead off the battery? It sounds to me like a fault in the alarm unit itself. If the alarm unit has a plug in connector it maybe worth checking it for corrosion or poor contact. Brian B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euroserv Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Hello, The most likely cause of this problem is a poor connection on the rear of the module in the middle of the dash where the hazard light switch is. This module contains the afore-mentioned haz light switch and any auxiliary options like front fog lights and heated mirrors along with rear fogs. All of the electrics for lighting goes through this module and is quite prone to failure but more often than not it is just a bad connection caused when removing/fitting the radio or when the dash is removed to replace the heater matrix. If my memory serves me correctly once the radio is removed you can get to the plug on the rear of the module but it's a bit tight.If removing and re-fitting the plug does not fix it you will need a new module and there are several different versions so it's important to get the correct part number or at least one that has exactly the same switches on it as yours. If you think about it; where else on the vehicle does the wiring for all of the indicators come together? Other faults that have been attributable to this unit are main beam not working, all indicators flashing when indicating in just one direction, and indicators not working when tail lights operating. Suffice to say; we keep spares! Regards, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
