My hazard lights are not working

[Guest]

Cheers.

fuse, or plug fallen off from behind hazard switch or broken wire somewhere

[Guest]

Clearly there is a hazard with your electrical system.

[Guest]

Thanks, where would the fuse be???

[Guest keltik]

If the hazard switch is broken the indicators wont work at all. Id say its a broken wire/fuse

[Guest boostin]

Hazard switch unplugged. I guarantee it.

i would say your switch is buggered. if its unpluged/flasher broken/broken wire/blown fuse your indicators wouldnt work either, as your hazard switch intercepts the indicators

Not on a BL/BP it doesn't. All switched by the body control ECU, aka Integrated Unit.

Has someone had the stereo out of it? If so, then they will have forgotten to plug the hazard switch back in. I've seen it so many times its not funny.

[Guest]

Yeah its a BL5, the trip meter unit was replaced earlier...anyone know how to remove the centre console to access the plug??

I figured it out on my ol BE5 but this is a whole diff. kettle of fish with the integrated steeo/aircon unit...

Cheers...

Pop out the chrome ring around the gear shifter. There's a clip in each corner.

Lift the front edge of the cup holder section about 2cm. The clips for this are f'n tight.

Take the shifter surround out. Pop the back edge up first.

Take the screws out of the rear of the side trims.

Carefully pop the side trims backwards. 3 clips on each one.

Remove 3 screws on each side of the stereo-A/C panel.

Move the shifter to "D" and pull the stereo etc out.

Refit all in reverse order.

[Guest]

Oh its a manual trans by the way.

[Guest boostin]

Ok, just unscrew the shift knob and lift off the surround instead of removing the chrome ring and removing the surround.

I know i've dug up an old thread here, found it when searching.

Our hazard lights don't work in our 2003 BP Legacy...the indicators do work.

I've followed this thread and have removed the facia...friggin paranoid i'd break something, bit reluctant to pull the radio

set up out any further cos it's pretty tight.

Anyhow, the hazard switch is unplugged...there's no wiring to it. Where the hell would it be???

[wine red rocket]

Cancel that, found the last 2 screws :, pulled the stereo out and then found the 'lost' hazard plug wire...all good now!!

Your search function works well ;D

[Joker]

lol thats a 1st someone complimenting the search function

wicked result I know because if I didnt say it already in my BG if I unplug the hazards the indicators DONT work

(had to trip to ripco for a connector mid-gauge install)

Haha this is the opposite of what normally happens... (cue "my hazard lights are working and I don't know why" flame threads)
