Hazards

[Guest STEVE OXON]

hi guys

as i am not electric friendly, problem on hazards.

1/ sierra switches etc. indicators work ok.

2/ when hazards switched on seems to be at double speed and very little light at bulbs.

3/ what stupidly have i done wrong or is it not me after all

cheers steve

Hi Steve,

The hazard flasher switching is built into the indicator switch, therefore I would have thought that if the indicators work OK then the hazards should also function.

The hazards are powered from Fuse#12 (always Live) in the Sierra fuse box, this should arrive on pin 30 on the switch unit.

I found that indicators and hazards didn't want to flash if battery voltage was below 11 v.

Which wiring harness are you using ?

Cheers,

Terry

hi terry

i have the autosparks loom with sierra switches etc / not the donor fuse box though.seperate fuse boxes x 2.

i can hear the hazards trying to work, sort of ping-ping . but the indicators are normal .ping........ping........ping etc

(not too many pings/pongs) i think mi must have a wire wrong . last thing to do before i attempt sva........................

cheers steve

Just a thought, but have you got the correct flasher unit? Rated for 4x21w. Some older versions were only rated for two lamps and used a seperate unit for the hazards.

Another point......have you connected the instrument cluster correctly?
